Sermon 25 June 2017 (Corpus Christi)
A new plant in the garden of the Church by Fr. Dana
- Fundamental principles of gardening
- The Church is a garden established by God
- Man’s tending of it has failed
- God sovereignly created a new hybrid plant in the garden
- It’s all about the heart: behaviour flows from the heart
- The Church is made up of families and individuals, both of which are also gardens which must be tended
- Today we celebrate God’s intervention in the garden: the ICCEC
