Welcome to the Garden Congregation KZfaq Channel!
Thank you for joining us!
A reflection on the way in which Jesus uses verses from the psalms, particularly when countering authoritative figures who are questioning or interrupting his teaching. He turns to these sentences also in times of personal stress or pain this points to very good reasons for us knowing and using the psalms in many different ways today. This talk was given at the Dean's Forum, part of the extensive adult education programme run by the beautiful Cathedral Church of St Philip the Deacon, Atlanta GA. If you enjoy this talk then do be sure to check out the sermons given that morning at the 8.45am and the 11.15am Eucharists also given by Dean Willis - these, and many more wonderful resources, are available on the cathedral website - www.cathedralatl.org
When Canterbury Cathedral was closed to the clergy by the Archbishop in March 2020 the then Dean, Robert Willis, and his partner Fletcher took to filming daily services in their garden through to May 2022. Usually joined each day by at least one of their cats (Monkey, Lilly, Tiger or Leo) and a whole host of their menagerie from pigs and chickens to hedgehogs and newts and whilst sitting in the gardens through all seasons, this is a wonderful way to switch off and meditate whilst listening to a mix of poetry, recitals, current affairs, music - and of course the daily psalms and readings from the bible which are then explored and unpicked by Dean Robert.
