Four years in holy orders today! ⚓️
Finishing today the church history serious I've been doing with my parish since last September. 'A Great Cloud of Witnesses': every week, we read and discuss a bit by a significant theologian or otherwise important Christian figure. This is the list we've gone through. ⚓

Red = modern broad church
Purple = liberationist

Made my preaching debut in the CofE yesterday at St Chad's, where the Revd Hannah Richardson is priest-in-charge. The sermon big idea: Jesus is baptized because he takes on our sin to give us his righteousness.
great exchange ✔️

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,
Or close the wall up with our English dead
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility,
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger…
Or close the wall up with our English dead
In peace there’s nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility,
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger…
