You remain adolescent at just the moment a culture worth its salt requires you to become a real, grown, human being.In ‘Liturgies of the Wild’, acclaimed mythographer, storyteller and Christian thinker Martin Shaw argues that we live in a myth-impoverished age and that such poverty has left us vulnerable to stories that may not wish us well. Drawing on the “ancient technologies” of myths and initiatory rites, Shaw provides a road to wholeness, maturity and connection. He teaches us to read a myth the way it wants to be read; provides vivid retellings of tales powerful enough to carry you through life’s travails; and shows you how to gather and reshape your own thrown-away stories. Most vividly, he shares how these ancient technologies led him – unexpectedly - to Christ, ‘the True Myth’, by way of a 30-year journey and a 101-night vigil in a Dartmoor forest.Combining scholarly erudition with nimble storytelling in the tradition of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, ‘Liturgies of the Wild’ is a thrilling counsel of resistance and delight in the face of many modern monsters.Dr Martin Shaw is a writer, mythographer and Christian thinker and the author of 17 books. He founded the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University and is director of the Westcountry School of Myth in the UK. For 20 years, Shaw has been a wilderness rites of passage guide, working with at-risk youth, those who are unwell, and returning veterans, as well as women and men seeking a deeper life. Martin had a conversion experience to Eastern Orthodoxy when he was nearly 50. He became a visiting scholar at the divinity faculty at Cambridge University this autumn and is based in Devon.

Established as a small convent, it grew over the centuries into a priory, which became a parish church and then, in 1905, the Cathedral for the newly created Diocese of Southwark which serves the whole of London south of the river.The Cathedral’s patchwork architecture bears testament to its past as do the many monuments and memorials inside and outside the church. These are reminders of the rich history of this part of London and our association with such major figures in our creative history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.Southwark Cathedral is a place of worship, welcome and friendship, to rejoice in or find rest when you’re weary. We are London’s community Cathedral striving to live the example of Jesus, seeking to be a spiritual home for all and set at the heart of Bankside, buzzing with people and activity, a vibrant cultural and commercial destination." } ] } ] ```
