Open the Gospel for 1 September, 14 after Trinity. Mark 7.1-8,14,15,21-23. The Revd Kate Stacey, Lay Reader Nick Partridge, and Senior Youth Connector Barrie Voyce in conversation.

Open the Gospel is a learning community for anyone who preaches, who listens to preaching, who wants a space to dig into scripture with others. We look at the coming Sunday’s Gospel from the Common Lectionary, with a conversation between a clergy and lay person, and someone considering the reading from the child at the centre, before opening up to the online community. The conversation will be available as a podcast that can be used in planning, or even where there is no one to preach in a Sunday service.
