Enjoy performative readings and discussion of Aphra Behn’s poem “A Paraphrase on the Lord’s Prayer” before trying your hand at creating your own prayer-poem (however religious or secular that may be!). Join us in the church where Behn’s parents were married to consider her unique voice, identity, and religious perspective.
This free event will take place at St. Paul's Church, Church Street, Canterbury, CT1 1NH.
This event is part of Being Human Festival, the UK’s national festival of the humanities, taking place 9–18 November 2023. For further information please see
