I hope that you have found our summer challenge of reading St Mark’s Gospel both edifying and stimulating. Reading a biblical book in larger parts, and focusing on one for a period of time, does give a deepened understanding.
It has been most heartening to see how St Mark’s people of all ages have engaged in this challenge. Those of us who listened to David Suchet reading the Gospel found it fascinating. His pace, pauses, and emphasis of words and phrases brought the ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus to life. It was almost as if we were spectators, standing somewhere amongst the crowd and taking it all in. If you would like to watch this recording from St Paul’s Cathedral, London, you will find it on: The Gospel According to Mark read by David Suchet
Can I encourage you to please submit your insights and comments for our booklet no later than the 15th of August? I very much look forward to compiling our St Mark’s Reading St Mark booklet. Please email the office or the rector. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Gospel or would like an explanation to any passage, please do make contact. Send it either to the office or directly to me.
May you be blessed as you read!
Blessings,
Helene
