Esther John sermon | 26 November | The Right Reverend Anthony Ball

The Right Reverend Anthony Ball discusses the life of Esther John, who was inspired to become a teacher after reading The Bible. She was found murdered in her bed at the age of 30.
A statue of Esther John can be found above Westminster Abbey's Great West Door. This statue is one of the Abbey's ten modern martyrs of the 20th-century. The modern martyrs represent Christians who gave up their lives for their beliefs.
This sermon is part of the Noble Army of Martyrs series, which marks the 25th anniversary of statues' installation. The sermons will focus on the lives of those depicted, their ongoing resonance, and legacy for the Church.
