Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks video, I hope you’ve had a good week. One of the many misunderstandings people have about the Bible is that its just a set of propositions and rules. Close examination reveals it a library of books of different literary styles.
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s video. At the moment the river Wye behind me is flowing fairly gently. Just a few months ago I would have been 20’ underwater. The river back then was quite scary, uprooting substantial trees and spreading them downstream. Even now there are hidden currents powerfully at work under the surface where you need to take great care.

Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s video, and thank you for your feedback -positive and negative on last weeks. Communities develop their own corporate personalities.
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s video. I’m sitting in one of my favourite places in the Cathedral, the Chapel remembering Thomas Traherne. His writings frequently explore the glory of creation and what he saw as his intimate relationship with God.

Hello everyone. I do hope you are bearing up two weeks in to our restrictions. Its hard for everyone, but I’m constantly encouraged by the creativity and sheer ingenuity people are exercising to continue connecting and caring for one another.
