Eucharist 19th April 2015

Alleluia: Christ is risen! He is risen indeed: alleluia! My gold-glittery Easter shoes have been packed away and it's unlikely that there are many (indeed any!) chocolate eggs left in our homes.  Perhaps all those things we'd given up during our Lenten fast are now a routine part of our dai… Read more

Bishop of Guildford's Easter Eve Baptism and Confirmation Sermon 2015: "Till death us unite"

Monday, May 25th 1992: I’ll never forget that date: because that was the morning when I was woken up in the early hours by the cries of a lady dying in the nursing home next door. As I got up to dress, my wife stirred, and then started making strange noises of her own. She was heavily pregna… Read more
