Wow, what accomplished and beautiful singing. Bravo!

Thank you for your role in Gee Seven. I found it inspiring and a marvellous way to engage Primary School students especially. The video I saw was truly moving

My husband and our 3 sons were all in the choir from 1971 onwards. Many happy hours. Mrs Edwards and I used to launder the boys surplices in those days. We did half each. I will say that our sons have grown up to become successful in their lives and still sing today in choirs with our youngest spending 4 years at Trinity College of Music studying and voice training. We have much to thank the Cathedral and the staff then (John Winter & Henry Doughty). Daphne & David Brown.

If you spot yourself, do you win a prize? (Mark and I at 1'30" listening to choir practice...)

Best he just concerns himself with his own life?

Thank You 🙏 ❤️

It says something about us if we can't accept the greater Spirtual intelligence in the room or even share equally in our faults.

Good reflection, Alan, but whatever happened to Hymenaus and Alexander?!

Amen. Utrinque Paratus.

Amen.

Thank You God Bless 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️

Amen.

Thank You Alan, My son Joseph O’Berry says hello and send his LOVE to you and all of Touro ❤️🙏

Through the Spirt.

Nice video! Keep up the good work. If you have a moment you could go visit my channel and sub if you enjoy it 💛🧡

God bless you Alan.

Tjhank you - I enjoyed listening to your sermon, and the analogy to scuba diving. And yes, we need both approaches

Amen.

There is no justice in this world. But you can have ultimate justice if you have faith in what is to come.

It's incredible that we wait for a person to put the Holy Spirit into themselves. We can literally put the Holy Spirit into our children. I say this as a person who has 3 children who are not baptised. Trying to explain what I know to them is probably like it is to all parents pretty much impossible or so it seems.

Amen.

This gospel reading began with Jesus saying to forgive not 7 times, but 77 times, and then he tells a story. The unjust steward having been forgiven (once?) refuses to forgive his fellow slave, but then the King/Lord hands him over to be tortured until the debt was paid. Where ae the 77 times? I would appreciate any thoughts on this. I have wondered if, when we refuse to forgive another, whether it feels like torture. Something about hell being a place of our own creation. Perhaps this kind of torture is also?

Thank You 🙏

I have just watched the Bishops Eucharist, I must say Alan that his fan base looks alot more exciting than yours.......

Amen.

The shape of the gospel? What came to me was that the gospel is like the shape of water, which depends on the container that holds it. And that is me and you. Because each person's experience of the gospel is unique, because each of our relationships with God are also unique. And, in the wisdom of God the water is fluid and can assume new shapes as we grow in wisdom and insight - and yes, love.

I liken myself to a rat in a maze. Blindly going down every turn. Slowly learning the good the bad and the ugly. Trying not to go down the negative diversions to often or repeatedly and to pick up and learn the scent of God which cuts a clear path through it all.

What incredible prayers. Amen.

Thank you for sharing your feelings about that passage in Romans. It was very helpful. It also made me think about my own 'desert island scriptures' and why I would choose them, so thank you.

Thank you for this service today. I really appreciated it. And I enjoyed what you said about your assistant chaplains - the way you smiled and how your face lit up when you spoke about a couple of memorable ones, was lovely. I also enjoyed what you said about Simon Peter, and how you turned it back on us at the end. Who do you say that I am. Food for thought. And last but definitely not least I was able to make my spiritual communion today. Thank you again.

Amen

Thank you, Canon Alan. I should constantly pray (in whatever way) for the presence of the Holy Spirit. But sometimes I forget; and that's usually the time when things go wrong.

Wow

I only know what I believe. Outside of that who am I to judge anyone?

Thank you! So incredibly helpful on the day I complete an essay on mission in Acts and start one on Inter-Faith based on "The Finality of Christ" by +Rowan. I think I will be citing a CZcams video for the first time in an essay!

Thank you. I appreciated your thoughts on the faith of the woman willing to gather the crumbs from his table. And most especially I appreciated your offering of Holy Communion on our behalf.

There is a joke in the military that every service person who served at the time of the Iranian embassy siege claims that they where not only in the SAS but also one of the ones seen on TV abseiling down the building and blowing out the windows.....

Amen

His Spirit is with us.

Another phrase I don't understand is 'you say I am' when they or Pilate didn't. Sorry to insult you Lord Jesus. It feels that violence and conflict are actually natural human behaviors, mirrored across many life forms. To step aside or become more aware or whatever the popular phrases of your times are we have to act supernaturally. For us who have been blessed by having our eyes opened by God to see Him literally as a Being and our Father, you can't get more supernatural than the example of not only our Father in heaven sending His only Son but also the Actions and example of the Son when He was here. The personal revelation is awe inspiring when you understand that all life and systems and devices are ordered in a hierarchy and that the Being the Lord our God is at the top. To inspire us all to see how to be, and how He understands our situation here on earth He, in front of the entire universe, creation and all of heaven threw himself at our feet, to eventually rise back up to His throne and true position. What a journey for anyone but this is what the King of everthing did.

Oh the businees of life. Thank the Lord for His forgiveness and mercy. Even though we can deny Him, betray Him and even our own ethical framework the love of Christ is overwhelming.

Amen.

Thank you. And a view very apt for the reading and thoughts flowing from it.

Ok this is getting interesting (at last). How high can you go?.... Only joking about the interesting bit.

Thank You 🙏

I attended Exeter Cathedral School - not as a chorister, but it brings back memories

Some people don't agree with large religious buildings and you can say that you don't need buildings to worship God which is true, but it's also true that small groups, house churches and quaint congregations doing their thing can't necessarily reflect God to the truly lost. You could say that the Cathedral is a beacon that says 'GOD' and lost people need a beacon to find their way. You don't have to spend much time in the Cathedral to see that as well as hosting a lovely congregation it also sees a steady stream of very lost people in desperate need of love, both God's and ours.

God bless you Simon. Its been a great comfort knowing there has been a steady stream of videos coming from the Cathedral priests over the last few months. Thank you.
