Psalms in Translation Online Retreat with Mary Davenport
Explore the many ways the Psalms have been translated into English in this online offering from the Trinity Retreat Center. As "the hymn-book of the early Church," the psalter is a diverse collection of ancient songs that lies at the heart of both Christian and Jewish worship and spiritual life. As poetry, the psalms form a special challenge for translators, opening up new ways of thinking about what the essence of a sacred text is.
This online retreat will be led by Mary Davenport, programming assistant at Trinity Retreat Center, who is a scholar and translator of Biblical Hebrew literature as well as a postulant for ordination to the priesthood in the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.
This free retreat will take place over five half-hour sessions via the Trinity Retreat Center Facebook page throughout the weekend at these times; all times are Eastern. Registration is not required.
- Friday 7–7:30pm
- Saturday 10–10:30am, 2–2:30pm, and 8–8:30pm
- Sunday 4–4:30pm
