The Sixth Sunday of Easter with The University Church on May 17, 2020. - PDF
To whom shall we turn for guidance? Who will tell us the truth? Who will show us the next step? The situation in which we find ourselves isn’t new. The Psalmist, in Psalm 66, is convinced that, despite everything, God hears his prayers and responds in steadfast love.And in the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks of “another Advocate” – the Spirit of Truth – who guides us in a world in which truth is, as Jesus puts it, neither seen nor known.

As those created in the Image of God, how we be that bridge for those who have yet to encounter it?
