The Bishop of Dover, the Rt Revd Rose Hudson-Wilkin, is interviewed on the podcast this week about a new Lent course that she has written, The Room Where it Happens, based on the smash-hit musical Hamilton. In a review of Lent books and resources in the Church Times, David Wilbourne writes: “In The Room Where it Happens, Rose Hudson-Wilkin comes to house groups, wherever they may be, watching the smash-hit musical Hamilton with them, and introducing staid Anglicans to hip-hop. She parallels her own immigrant experience with Alexander Hamilton's, blisteringly honest about her humble origins, the ensuing hurts, and the dreams that fired her. . . “In 22 years of parish ministry, I ran many Lent house groups, and, as a bishop, I addressed larger Lent gatherings. I sense that this course will work brilliantly.” The Room Where it Happens is published by Darton, Longman & Todd, and is on offer at the Church Times Bookshop. Music for the podcast is by Twisterium Try 10 issues of the Church Times for £10 or get two months access to our website and apps, also for £10. Go to churchtimes.co.uk/new-reader.
Canon Rachel Mann has written a Lent course on an unlikely topic: Still Standing: a Lent Course based on the Elton John movie Rocketman (DLT) (Books, 22 January). It's available to buy from the Church Times Bookshop for £6.29. Ed Thornton caught up with Rachel this week to find out more about the course. “Rocketman is not about Elton John's conversion to Christianity — I don't know quite what he thinks about Christianity,” Rachel says. “But what it is about is about a human being coming to terms with the depths of his need, with the way in which he's lived a life of profound excess and damage and brokenness, and that need for healing. And gosh isn't that a story all of us can perhaps wrestle with — our grit and our grace, our brokenness and our holiness.” Rachel will be talking about her debut novel, The Gospel of Eve (Books, 27 November 2020), at a one-day Church Times Festival of Faith and Literature event being held online on Saturday 20 February. Other speakers include Francis Spufford, whose eagerly anticipated second novel, Light Perpetual, has recently been published; Kathy Tiernan; and Mark Oakley.

Jesus was about to fie for the nation, and not for the nation only... Jesus' mission is nothing less than the renewal of the whole earth. It is greater even than the salvation of his own people. It is to gather into one the dispersed children of God, born again from above into his kingdom. The great Passover has come.

The English word courage comes from the Latin word cor, which means heart. To be courageous is to be whole-hearted in our lives and in our faith. to encourage someone is, literally, to put the heart back in to them. In the language of Jeremiah, to be given a new heart.
Jesus shows us life in all its fullness. That abundant life is first contemplative and second compassionate. You might think that love of God and neighbour says everything there is to say. But we also need to look and find in the story the Christ who is courageous.

Pope Francis has one of the most challenging vocations in the world. His calling is to lead the largest Christian Church, stretched across every continent, a Church which is full of challenges and problems. His calling, like ours, is to articulate a fresh vision of what it means to be Church in the 21st century: a Church bearing witness to the love of God in a globalising, secular, pluralist, sometimes dehumanising culture.

This picture of Jesus before the tomb of Lazarus gives us the picture of how the Church is to be in the world: the foundation of God's mission is compassion: feeling with and suffering with others. Weeping with those who weep. This episode is reflection 11 of 21. Written and read by Bishop Steven, each reflection accompanies the booklet Abundant Life.

Let's stay with Jesus' vulnerability a little longer... In several places John's Gospel presents us, within a few verses, with Christ's divinity and his humanity, and the ways in which the two are interwoven. Written and read by Bishop Steven, this reflection accompanies the booklet Abundant Life.

This is the only place in the fourth Gospel where Jesus reveals his deepest emotions. We love him for it. This weakness and vulnerability calls forth a response in John's readers in every generation.

Mary's tears are a sign of two great loves. She loves her brother, Lazarus, and she has lost him to death. As she draws near to his tomb, she weeps again. The pain of her loss remains very raw. Mary also loves Jesus, as his disciple and her friend. She is aware that Jesus has placed himself in danger by coming to the tomb.

Every disciple responds to Jesus in a different way. We are unique. In this story Martha and Mary are in exactly the same situation. They are sisters grieving the loss of their brother. They are friends of Jesus. But they respond very differently.

Martha makes the good confession of faith in a moment of great vulnerability and loss and questioning. Her brother has died. Her friend, Jesus, was not there to save him (as she thinks). She hears the promise of resurrection and life as for the end of time yet still through her tears and turmoil she believes and places her trust in Jesus as Messiah.

Seeing Jesus is not the work of a moment but the work of a lifetime. John’s Gospel offers us seven great I am sayings to reflect on and to ponder. The first six are all linked clearly to the concept of life. The seventh is all about the life of the vine flowing through the life of the disciple.

The Church is called to be like Jesus: contemplative, compassionate and courageous. The disciples are learning in this passage what that means. When Jesus discerns it is the right time to go to Lazarus, the disciples are the opposite of all these things. They are anxious, indifferent and afraid for their own safety and that of Jesus. They want to preserve their life, not give it away.

At almost every turn in the story, Jesus does the opposite of what is expected of him. He shows us that to live a contemplative life is not to live a life of quiet passivity but to live a life which is reflective, in relationship with God, a life which flows from an inner dialogue of love. We are not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed.

John tells the story of Jesus in seven great miracles or signs. They are in ascending order. They begin with the changing of water into wine. They end with the raising of Lazarus from the dead.

The story of Lazarus begins here. The aim of the story is to teach us the meaning of life in all its fullness. At the very beginning of the Gospel John says of Jesus: ‘In him was life’. The meaning of life unfolds in the pages of the Gospel in what Jesus does and in who Jesus is.

What does it mean to be a more Christ-like Church for the sake of God's world? Abundant Life looks at one of the most powerful stories in the Gospels, the raising of Lazarus. It's a story that reveals Jesus as contemplative, compassionate and courageous.
