Sermon – 14 March 2003 – Lent 3
Sometimes one opens the pages of scripture only to find written therein, questions and comments which seem to relate very precisely to the current conversation in the global village.This morning, as the world reflects on the sudden outbreak of terror and destruction in Madrid, the gospel falls open at a page when Jesus is speaking…
