More than a concert, but not quite a service, this will be an hour of exquisite music performed by HeartEdge – an ensemble of talented choral scholars drawn from across the diocese, many of them being current students at the Royal Northern College of Music … More Lord of all Hopefulness
Teamwork
October 4, 2022
At the very beginning of Jesus earthly ministry, he called twelve disciples to be with him. He sent them out to preach the gospel in pairs. Later, when St Paul was journeying throughout the known world to spread the good news, he always had at least one companion, and not just a servant to keep him safe, but another preacher who would work alongside him. The message is clear – ministry is not a solo occupation … More Teamwork

September 27, 2022
This is a well-established favourite of our Sunday School! I think the children would choose to sing it every week if they could, but they are strictly limited to autumn only. The tune jauntily takes the singers through a list of experiences, not all of them autumnal, with a regular reminder to say, “thank you” … More Autumn Days – E White (1925-2011)

When I with awesome wonder…
September 6, 2022
As I write this the temperature outside is 30°C. That used to be exceptional – now I am taking it in my stride. On a similarly hot day in the gardens of Lambeth Palace, we were discussing Climate Change around the table. One bishop referred to the rains in his country becoming unpredictable … More When I with awesome wonder…
