TOUCHING THE WOUNDS, IN PRAISE OF 'DOUBTING'THOMAS

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.
