Sea Sunday

Last Sunday was Sea Sunday - a day when we remember all those mariners who ply the oceans to bring us the goods and food that we need from foreign shores - or who take our goods and sell them abroad.

Sea-farers are essential to our way of life - and always have been. Ever since the first primitive human decided to take what he had made or grown and trade it with someone across the sea, we have needed these people.

And yet, many sea-farers are among the most poorly paid workers in the world - and live in some of the worst circumstances. Many of them cannot even leave their ships to visit the ports they enter. Many have inadequate clothing for the temperatures in which they work. Others are cut off from their families for months, even years on end.

Here is a sermon which I preached on Sunday, on that topic - based around Luke Chapter 10. To read it click here.

God bless them.
