Four hundred years ago, in a time of turbulence and bloodshed, of struggles for freedom and social upheaval, King James authorised a new version of the Bible. It was another revolution in religion and thinking which now stands as one of the greatest achievements of the English language. We are celebrating the work of wthose greatelcome translators and poets this year and setting their work in the context of the ongoing Enlightenment, of what we know now: what we now know about the universes, about nature, and about the human mind and heart; what we now know about plurality and conviction and faith; what we now know about genesis and exodus, about kings and revelations. On the side of the angels we have a congregation of bishops and theologians toand scholars; onhay the side of mankind we have an array of the world’s greatest cosmologists and philosophers, comedians and storytellers from every continent. Game on. And every night we’ll be dancing and laughing, because you know who has all the best tunes… Please come and join us for a holiday of adventures and imagination here in the heart of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’ll be a blast.
