Encountering God in the Language of the Senses

Before belief is articulated, it is often sensed; Anglican worship engages the whole body through sight and sound, movement and stillness, word and symbol—forming faith through rhythm, space, and shared practice as much as through explanation. This session offers a gentle introduction to sensory faith before turning to the Theology of the Thurible, exploring incense, smoke, and the tools of the craft, their theological meaning and liturgical use, and concluding with a hands-on opportunity to make some smoke and practise the art of swinging a thurible. Presented by Kevin Lapthorn —a session for trainee thurifers and the curious alike!!
