Word and Silence Podcast from Bishop Kelvin
Have you checked out a new podcast from +Kelvin Wright? Currently this contains eight episodes. Four of these are Kelvin's talks from the "3 in 1” series which has been running on Sunday evenings in St Michael’s church. There is a short piece on why meditation might be a good thing for Christians, as well as on Centering Prayer and other spiritual disciplines. "I will be adding content on at least a weekly basis, initially around meditation, aiming to help people establish and continue a deeper inner journey. I will also publish more generally Biblical and theological talks from time to time..."

Gospel Old Testament Conversations
24th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Te Rātapu Rua Tekau mā whā o He Wā Noa, Sunday 13 September 2026: Genesis 50:15–21
In this week’s Gospel Conversation, Ben Truman, Gillian Townsley and Damon Plimmer join Michael Godfrey to reflect on Joseph’s remarkable choice to forgive rather than revisit the wrongs of the past. They explore how reconciliation is cultivated through smaller acts of forgiveness along the way — preparing us for those moments when forgiving can be much harder.

23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time – Te Rātapu Rua Tekau mā toru o He Wā Noa, Sunday 6 September 2026: Ezekiel 33:7–11
In last week’s Gospel Conversation, Lisa Emmerson, Hans Christiansen and Kelvin Wright join Michael Godfrey to explore Ezekiel’s call to be a “watch person”. They reflect on the courage to speak truth in love, while leaving others free to respond — trusting in God’s desire not to condemn, but to reconcile and restore.

About Gospel Conversations - Old Testament
"Gospel Conversations - Old Testament" are informal discussions about the Old Testament reading coming up the following Sunday in our lectionaries. We gather (usually) a range of people to take part, from around our diocese, our Province, and the wider Anglican Communion: clergy, laity, theologians, explorers. We are not all experts, we don't all agree with everything that is said, but we hope that by putting a range of ideas out there for you, this might aid your personal devotions, your sermon preparation, or your home group.
