Recommend ‘Passions of the Soul’ by Rowan Williams, my holiday reading this week.

Learning a lot from the early Eastern monastic tradition.

“We are because God is, we are the way we are because of the way God is, and so to be fully ourselves is to grow into an awareness of God”

“When hope goes - when hope goes from staff and prisoners’ eyes, that’s when prisons become awful, dangerous places... The key thing is inviting the outside in. Keep talking. A closed system will pull rank”.

Pia Sinha from Prison Reform Trust speaking about how Liverpool Prison was improved

If you think you might not wake up in time for a dawn Vigil, why not come to St Augustine’s? (Nearest tube, Tooting Broadway).

This is our first proper vigil, and it’s going to be joyful!!

Today on Good Friday:

at 3pm, we’ve preaching, communion from the reserved sacrament, and we venerate the cross.

All very welcome.

Maundy Thursday at St Augustine’s, Tooting.

We watch with Jesus, and pray alongside Christians all over the world.

“O Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world; have mercy upon us.”
