Merciful God, whose servant Joseph of Arimathea with reverence and godly fear prepared the body of our Lord and Savior for burial and laid it in his own tomb: Grant to us, your faithful people, grace and courage to love and serve Jesus with sincere devotion all the days of our life; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Each month, Father Turner records an audio message which is a personal theological reflection on a particular topic. Sometimes it is about the season or festival being celebrated at Saint Thomas Church, sometimes a reflection on the life of the church in other parts of the world and at other times something that is in the news. These messages are posted toward the end of each month. Be sure to check latest news for updates.

The Rector’s Reflection for August 2016

Father Turner was in Europe just before the British Referendum on membership of the European Union. In the light of heightened tension and fear, Canon Turner explores the diversity of Europe and how communities must be built on mutual trust. He uses the ‘four principles of interfaith dialogue’ adopted by the British Council of Churches as an example.
