Fr Oswin’s sermon, 13 February 2022
“He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people”. **************************** The level place: – life can be confusing at the best of times, and few would argue this is the best of times. How comforting it would be to have […]
