Welcome

Hi, I’m Christine Woolgar. Here at Faith in Grey Places, I explore Scripture through creative writing—whether that’s  poetry,  prose or  drama.

You’re welcome to use these resources in worship—and I’d love to know if you do! Contact me here. If you use my work, please credit me and include a link to this site.

I usually publish something new each Sunday. If you like what you read, please consider signing up for weekly or quarterly updates via email.
