This is a 25 minute edit of our Sunday Communion on 10th February 2019 - the 5th Sunday after Epiphany. Today we hear Isaiah's great vision of being called to be a prophet, and also Luke’s story about the calling of the disciples (involving a miraculous catch of fish). We begin with a new poem by Richard Medrington.
What does it mean to have a vocational ‘calling’? Is it for the chosen few or for all of us? (take a wild guess)…
Today the reflection is by the Rector, Revd Steve Butler.
