Start:Stop - Raising the bar

The Creation of Animals - Paul Nash, 1924

Hello and welcome to this week’s Start:Stop reflection, helping you start your day by stopping to reflect for ten minutes. Through Lent we have been exploring the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, using as our guide the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book “Saying Yes to Life.” Our reading this morning describes the sixth day of creation:

Start:Stop-Julian of Norwich

Pablo Picasso - Crucifixion (1932)

Thank you for joining us for Start:Stop. This reflection will last around ten minutes and you are welcome to come and go as your schedule dictates. During Lent our reflections are inspired by chapters from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Lent Book “The Merciful Humility of God” by Dr Jane Williams. We begin with a bible reading which can be found on page 117 of the New Testament.
