There is a slight drop out towards the end of this file. here is the text of the poem i'm reading so you can get the missing lines: THE CLOD AND THE PEBBLE ‘Love seeketh not itself to please, Nor for itself hath any care, But for another gives its ease, And builds a heaven in hell’s despair.’ So sung a little clod of clay, Trodden with the cattle’s feet, But a pebble of the brook Warbled out these metres meet: ‘Lo...

Here is a Sermon I gave on the sunday after Ascension day at St. Edward's King and Martyr, tackling some of the awkward issues raised by the image of Christ ascending and trying to get to the heart of what it means to believe that in Christ our humanity has been taken into the heart of Heaven. It also has some links with the thought in my Sonnet for Ascension Day, which was read during the service (http://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/a-sonnet-for-ascension-day/)
Here is a poetry reading and accompanying sermon I have at St. Edward's Cambridge on the first Sunday after Easter. the traditional reading for his sunday is John chapter 20: verses 24-end, which tells the story of how Jesus ibited thomas o touch his wounds. I am fond of Thomas, a man who dared to ask questions, and this poem and sermon are a celebration of his role in the gospels.

We come to the 'final frontier', the line between life and death, between mortal and immortal, and once more we find the depth and liberating christian paradox at work; Christ who is life dies to share that life with us, we who live, die, in one sense, in order to have life with Him in every sense. We enter into these mysteries with some help from a reflection on Baptism and some poetry by George Herbert and John Donne
In this talk i look at how the revelation of God in christ, and the new commandment to love radically reconfigure the way we draw the line between self and other. Taking in teaching about the holy trinity from augustine and others, and the teaching of Charles Williams about co-inherence, we finish with a reading of the poetry of Michael O'Siaidhal, which helps our imagination to grasp and 'bring home' some of these ideas.
Continuing our exploration of Christ as reconciler and healer of our false divisions, we look at the 'division' between reason and imagination, with the help of Shakespeare, William Blake, and CS Lewis!
