The Chaplain

Rev’d Dr Maggi Dawn

After spending a number of years working as a singer, writer and musician in the field of contemporary music, Maggi Dawn was ordained into the Anglican Church in 1999. She became Chaplain at Robinson in September 2003.

Maggi read for an MA and PhD in theology at Cambridge. Her post-graduate study was on literary form as constitutive of meaning in S.T. Coleridge's theological writing, and her current research develops this interest in the form-content relationship in the musical and liturgical aspects of contemporary forms of worship.

She is an occasional broadcaster for BBC Radio 4 Religion, and is a regular speaker at Greenbelt Festival.

Her publications include:

• Beginnings and Endings - Readings from Advent to Epiphany (BRF 2007)
• Whose Text is it Anyway? in An Acceptable Sacrifice? (ed. Dormor and Morris, SPCK 2006)
• I am the Truth – text, hermeneutics and the person of Christ in Anglicanism: the answer to Modernity? (eds. Dormor, Caddick and MacDonald, Continuum, 2003)
• The Art of Liturgy in The Rite Stuff (ed. Pete Ward, BRF 2004).
• You have to change to stay the same in The Postevangelical Debate (Cray et al, SPCK, 1997)
