Music and Supervision – Thursday 8 May 2025 from 2pm-5pm with Harvey Richardson

Revd Harvey Richardson trained for the Methodist ministry after studying at the Roya Academy of Music in London. Harvey writes:

Throughout my pastoral and preaching ministry, stretching over 50 years, I have been energised by the connection between biblical hermeneutics and the interpretation of music. A growing aesthetical approach to theology has undergirded my interest and desire to convey the Christian gospel in relevant and meaningful ways. I practice my violin every day, endeavouring to keep in tune in every way at all times!

Consequently, a musical approach towards Pastoral Supervision has huge appeal. One of my teachers at the RAM was the amanuensis to the composer Frederick Delius from 1928 to 1934. His relationship with Delius, which involved detailed understanding of shared creative insights and abilities, provides a potent metaphor for Pastoral Supervision today.
