Episode 49 • 8th April 2021 • The Living Church Podcast • The Living Church

Today we have several special guests, and several kinds of goodies in the Easter basket. Today we’ll hear fiction, sermons, theology, and lots of poetry. If ever there was a Christian season for poetry, it is Easter, amen?

Our very warm thanks to our guest readers:

Novelist Heather Cross reads an excerpt from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis (by kind permission of The CS Lewis Company, Ltd.).

Poet and priest Malcolm Guite reads “Easter” by George Herbert.

The Rev. Dr. Katherine Sonderegger reads “Come Forth” by Wendell Berry, “An Altogether Different Language” by Anne Porter, and “That Nature Is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection” by Gerard Manley Hopkins.

Presiding Bishop Michael B. Curry reads an excerpt of No Future Without Forgiveness by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Dr. Jane Williams reads an excerpt from a sermon by Lancelot Andrewes, preached Easter Day 1622.

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams reads “Hymn of the Resurrection” by William Dunbar.

Mother Samira Page reads “Recognising You” by Amy Scott Robinson and Richard Lyall.

Our hope for this reading today is that it might usher you more deeply into the presence of the one who comes and seeks us out, in the garden where we weep, in all our locked rooms. May you find him, may he find you, may the hope of the resurrection touch you and give you joy, in these readings today.
