On the Eve of Brexit - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

This evening, at the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, I preached on the text of a famous Choral Evensong anthem, by S.S.Wesley - 'Blessed be the God and Father...".  I also made reference in the final paragraphs to the forthcoming exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and the rancour it has caused.
