“A chill went down my back”: Rev Richard Coles on exorcism

Available for over a year

Did you know that every diocese in the Church of England has an official exorcist (AKA a Minister of Deliverance)? The Reverend Richard Coles describes the time he was called out to a flat that was thought to be possessed. This is a clip from a Proms Interval Talk in which Rev Richard Coles and poet Imtiaz Dharker explored the figure of the Devil in Christian and Islamic cultures. It was chaired by Dr Christopher Harding in front of an audience at Imperial College Union.
