PSA 30 October 2011

Ken Howcroft: "All Saints Includes You! Sinners allowing themselves to be made perfect in love: A community of openly broken people, open to be raised to life". A semon preached on the Sunday before All Saints Day, which is also designated as 'Reformation Sunday'. This Sunday was also the day after a commemorative stone had been unveiled on the outside of the Church at Ponte Sant'Angelo to Gian Luigi Pascale, a Waldensian preacher in Calabria and a translator of the New Testament from Greek into Italian who was arrested and examined by the Inquisition before being burnt in 1560 in the square on which the Church now stands. The readings were Joshua 3:14-17, Revelation 7:9-17 and Matthew 5:1-12.
