Weekly Pew Sheet 19-4-20
In many churches today is known as ‘Low Sunday’, the tension of Holy Week and the joy of Easter Day have passed and we wonder what will happen next, what will the empty tomb mean for us. Starting this Sunday (19th), Bishop Peter will be posting on the diocesan website a weekly video reflection based…

Reflections on John 20:19-31
The Gospel readings for the past week have been about the discovery of the empty tomb on Easter Day morning. We have read how each of the four Gospel writers recorded this incredible event. We have, therefore, witnessed multiple times to the fact that Jesus was not dead, along with the women who were the…

Easter Day 2020
Over the past week or so I have been able to look out from windows at the back of Marown Vicarage and watch new life unfolding. A particular joy has been to see two, sometimes three, young rabbits playing a game of tag round the vegetable beds at the top of the back garden. They…

Palm Sunday Sermon 2020
During Lock-down I have, among other things, taken the opportunity to re-visit Richard Dawkins’s 2006 book The God Delusion. I have it on Kindle and a nice hardback edition too. Richard Dawkins is not pleased with God. He seems to have chosen God as his sworn enemy. The God Delusion is essentially an extended diatribe…
