“Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.” (Psalm 57.11)
Do you remember what Bishop Claughton said in the first sermon ever preached at St Michael’s, back in 1873? “We found this church not for the angels, not for the men who will worship here, not for the ministers, but for the Lord Jesus, and to him and him alone be all the glory.” You and I live in a consumerist culture, always concerned with what we can get out of any institution we’re involved with. But what counts is: what is God doing, and how can I best cooperate with him and with his purposes, to his glory? There are no Tuesday or Thursday Prayer meetings this week
