He crossed the fontiers between city and wilderness, Jew and Gentile, and ultimately, life and death.He still calls his followers to cross new frontiers with him.

This is the sermon I preached at a special Eucharist at St. Edwards Church in which we explored Rilke's life and work.

Here's a brief sermon I preached as the opener for a series at Girton college on storytelling in the Bible/ It concludes with one of my epiphany sonnets called Nathanael's epiphany, which you can find on my blog.

This is the talk I gave at our On the Edge special service: 'You want to travel with him; Leonard Cohen as fellow pilgrim'.
the playlist for the service was: Sisters of Mercy, Last Year's Man, Anthem, If it be your will, Suzanne, and Halleluia!

The season of epiphany, which follows on from the visit of the wise men, gives us a chance to contemplate some of the moments of 'epiphany' or glimpses of ultimate reality in the Gospel. One of these is when the 'Heavens open' at the Baptism of Christ. Here is a sonnet and a short sermon both contemplating that particular epiphany.

Here is a lovely ittle piece by GK Chesterton which I always enjoy reading at Christmas time. I hope you will enjoy it too!

The fifth and final talk in my series on the inklings as radical prophets.
