Biography

Maggi Dawn was educated at Stamford High School, the Lincolnshire County Music School and the University of Cambridge.

In between she spent a number of years working as a musician, singer and songwriter. She released four albums of her own songs, some of which were adapted and became widely known as church hymns.

In 1993 she changed the course of her career and went to Cambridge University to study theology. She took a BA in theology and then a PhD on the theological meaning of the work of S. T. Coleridge. She was ordained in the Church of England in 1999, since when she has served as a curate in Ely, as Chaplain of King’s College, Cambridge, and since 2003 has been Chaplain and Fellow in theology at Robinson College, Cambridge.

She has been widely published in books and journals, and has also written columns for various papers and magazines. She is an occasional broadcaster for BBC religion, and a regular speaker at conferences and festivals throughout the world, and occasionally appears as a musician.
