Bishop Richard's Weekly video Message - Transcript 08/09/2022
Hello everyone and welcome to this week’s video. I think it quite likely preachers and congregations may be in a period of recovery after the lectionary readings from last Sunday. We had Jeremiah likening God to a potter shaping evil against the Israelites unless they changed their ways. Then we had Paul asking his friend Philemon to accept his runaway slave Onesimus back without much sign of calling the institution of slavery into question. I’m recording this from a sweltering day just outside the chamber of General Synod. It ends tomorrow. Its been the usual mixture of the important and the banal. We’re all hugely proud of Emily (Synod’s youngest member) for a great speech in the debate about assisted dying. Others on the Hereford team have made great contributions both inside and outside the chamber.

I’m recording this from a sweltering day just outside the chamber of General Synod. It ends tomorrow. Its been the usual mixture of the important and the banal.
