It's a wonderful privilege to be allowed to preach and much to my surprise during formation it became one of the high points of my ministry. I love preaching, I love seeing the faces in the congregation as something sinks in, as Gods message, Gods love is opened up for them. I love the buzz I get when writing a homily after hours of nothing suddenly comes inspiration from the Spirit and words just flow.
I am one of 4 deacons who preach once a month in 6 different churches in our communion of parishes. I am publishing my homilies on this site to let more of our congregation hear or read them. I am always glad to receive feedback so feel free to comment on the blog, email me or just come and talk to me at the back of church.
As I was only ordained in 2011 much of the table below is currently empty but over the coming years I hope will soon begin to fill up. Their are five type of entry:
- "---" meaning I haven't preached on that day yet.
- "Homily" Which is a link to the homily.
- "Homily+" Which is a link to the homily and an audio recording or pod cast of the homily.
- "Notes" Which are a very basic collection of thoughts, links and other things I found and thought about while preparing to preach.
- "Notes+" Again rough notes but where I also recorded the homily.
If you want to know more about the liturgical year and the readings, then I can recommend The Liturgy Office of Engalnd & Wales website www.liturgyoffice.org.uk which I have used to help build this page.
