• Sermon preached on 1 September 2013

    Quite often, Jesus talks about things that I don’t know much about. A man may have gone out to sow – but I know precious little about agriculture. A father may have said goodbye to a prodigal son but I know nothing about having a jealous brother. A young man may have been told not to look back from the plough – but my soft hands, have clearly never touched a plough in their life.

    However in the Gospel today, Jesus does stray into an area where I know a thing or two.

    He is talking about (more…)

    Great photos Gordon/Kelvin. Thank you. I love the extravagance of the pouring water speaking of ‘God’s reckless generosity’, and the way ‘baby’s’ eyes are fixed on the Light.

I have a small stock (that is, a stock, not a stock of other shirts – ie a thing, not a collection of things) which I can use stuffed beneath other garments to simulate the bedog-collared look but that lives in the realm of…
