Start:Stop-The Economics of Failure

Hamed Abdalla, Defeat, 1963, Tate Gallery

Start:Stop at St Stephen Walbrook enables busy people to start their day by stopping to reflect. Ten minute reflections are repeated on the quarter hour, from 7.45am until 9.00am every Tuesday morning, beginning with a reading from scripture, followed by a reflection based on an event from this week in history, with space for silence and prayer. You can hear a recording of this week’s reflection at this link and read the script below.

Good morning and welcome to St Stephen Walbrook where on Tuesday mornings we start the day by stopping to reflect.

During Lent our Start:Stop reflections are inspired by the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book, ‘Failure’, written by the Bishop of Kensington. Today we consider what the bible teaches us about learning to live with failure.


We begin with a short reading from scripture, which you can find on page fifteen of the New Testament.
