The Rev’d Canon David Winter
After five years teaching (English and Religious Studies), ten years in magazine journalism and twenty years as a BBC producer, David Winter became Head of Religious Broadcasting at the BBC. In 2013 he celebrated 25 years as a Church of England priest. Over the past forty years he’s published 40 books: one novel, two biographies, an autobiography, an anthology of poetry about Jesus, The Poet’s Christ, and other books on religious topics.
He counts his main interest now as “unpacking the Bible for modern readers and applying its message to modern life.” He is a book reviewer and writes a regular diary column for the Church Times and a syndicated monthly column for ‘Parish Pump’ and was a regular contributor to Radio 4’s “Thought for the Day”. In 2011 he was elected a member of the Society of Authors. He wrote the course book for the 2013 York Lent Course, Glimpses of God.
David Winter’s new book At the End of the day – Enjoying Life in the Departure Lounge is a personal and wry look at the whole business of being old, from his own experience and drawing on the stories of some of the old people featured in the Bible.
Space in the City is an ecumenical venture organised by lay, licensed, ordained and associate members of Winchester’s city churches: St Bartholomew and St Lawrence with St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate, St Peter’s and the United Church.
