Do Not Be Afraid
Jesus turned to his disciples and asked them, “Why are you afraid?” The invocation of God “not to be afraid” is recorded throughout both the Old and New Testament. Depending on how you interpret the Greek and the Hebrew, which I’m sure you all have done, then it can...
Rites and Ceremonies
One of my most prized books that is never likely to be thrown into a pulping machine is a 1946 edition of Ritual Notes: A Comprehensive Guide to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Book of Common Prayer. The first edition was published in 1894. The book came into my...
St Augustine of Hippo
Have you ever considered just how central the continent of Africa is in the very roots of the Bible and indeed the Christian faith? The story of Joseph and his brothers is set in Africa as is, of course, the life of the prophet Moses. In our post-Christmas Gospel...

Companionship with God
This month’s prayer is taken from the writings of St Catherine of Sienna. Her words are greatly encouraging and point us all towards the importance of deepening our faith and our relationship with God. She uses the word “companion” (compagno in her native Italian) to...
The Vicar's Crystal Ball
I am very happy to respond to any pastoral inquiry, however please do not assume that “the Vicar will know!” Text or email me and I will always do what I can to help.
