Homily - Freedom and Judgement

The Three Judges, Georges Rouault (Tate Gallery)

A Homily given during Choral Evensong at St Giles-in-the-Fields on Sunday 17th September 2023 (Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity) based on readings from Job 1 and Matthew 7.1-14. In this homily I sought to explore personal disclosure, as part of my curacy training. 

Start:Stop - It’s all in the cloud

Berndnaut Smilde, Nimbus Sankt Peter, 2013

Hello, my name is Phillip Dawson and it is a great pleasure to welcome you to our Start:Stop reflection from St Stephen Walbrook, when we stop for a few minutes and start to reflect on a passage from scripture. You can hear an audio recording of this reflection at this link.

This week, a great prayer from the Letter to the Ephesians, that we might be strengthened by the fullness of God’s love for us - a love that surpasses knowledge.
