Now that gatherings for public worship have been suspended in the UK and other places, the Diocese of Lincoln is continuing its ‘Homilies Project’ as a series of podcasts. Various people from the diocese have written homilies, based around the Gospel set for each Sunday, and these will be turned into audio podcasts and put online both on the diocesan website (https://www.lincoln.anglican.org/) and here on my blog. I can’t help you with bread and wine, I’m afraid, but I can share some teaching from the Word. So watch this space for the homilies, which I will put up each Saturday. Please share – there are a lot of lonely people out there who are really going to miss some biblical input. Thanks!
