The annual fashion show and sale for Petersfield Save the Children at Churcher's College on 16 February (where the price of sold items is shared 50:50) was packed out and raised a huge amount for the cause. Jane Rebeiro, one of the 50 or so volunteers who organise and run the event, spoke to Mike Waddington about the sale; what it entails and the great success it brought for Save the Children. Their next venture is on 16 April at St Peter's church where local Rock Choirs will perform at a free event with a retiring collection for them. And the usual Pop-Up shops are also planned for later in the year. More about the Petersfield Branch at Save the ChildrenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As the Church commemorates the Chair of St. Peter at Antioch, we remember not the greatness of a man, but the greatness of God's mercy. Peter, who once denied Christ in fear and wept bitterly, became the shepherd of the Church because he chose repentance instead of despair. In contrast to Judas, whose sorrow led to hopelessness, Peter's tears became the seed of restoration and mission. As Lent approaches, this feast calls us to the heart of the Christian life: receiving God's mercy and extending that same mercy to others. Our fasting, prayer, and almsgiving bear fruit only when they are rooted in the compassion that restored Peter and continues to restore us.

February 22nd, 2026:  The Feast of the Chair of St Peter & Our Lady of Lourdes;  Peter, Vicar of Christ;  United in St Peter 

Color: White First Reading: Acts 4:8–13 Psalm: Psalm 118:19–29; antiphon: v. 26 Epistle: 2 Peter 1:1–15 Gospel: Mark 8:27—9:1 Gospel: Mark 8:27–35 Introit: Psalm 89:1, 5, 15–16; antiphon: Psalm 119:46 Gradual: 2 Corinthians 4:5a, 13c; 1 Peter 4:11b; Psalm 113:3 Verse: Mark 8:35 Losing Ourselves in the Confession of the One Name of Salvation   St. Peter speaks for all disciples when he confesses, “You are the Christ” (Mark 8:29). This confession is the bedrock of the Church, which Christ Himself builds (Matt. 16:18), for “this Jesus,” the stone rejected by earthly builders, “has become the cornerstone” (Acts 4:11). This was a scandal even to Peter. The Christ must suffer, be rejected, be killed “and after three days rise again” (Mark 8:31), for through this work of salvation received by faith, God's “precious and very great promises” are granted, “so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature” (2 Peter 1:4). Wherever Jesus is the Christ, His disciples deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow Him (Mark 8:34). They have been cleansed from their former sins and increase in faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love, effective and fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:5–9). All who trust in Jesus, the Christ of Peter's confession, will save their life, though for His sake they lose it (Mark 8:35). “For there is no other name … by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Let's listen as Alex provides a simple diagnostic tool for pastors as well as tangible ways forward in partnership with professionals as we seek to be part of helping congregants heal.

Norah St Peter never saw herself as an athlete. She grew up in the performing arts, ran cross country in high school but didn't connect with it, and later spent years very sick before finally being diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Once she reached remission, movement became something to celebrate. Rock climbing led to running, running led to a half marathon, and not long after crossing that finish line she signed up for her first full at the Cowtown Marathon in Fort Worth on her birthday weekend.She trained through a cold Texas winter, only for race day to spike into the 80s. When the half marathoners split off and the course got quiet, the race shifted. The wall hit, the heat took a toll, and she crossed the finish line feeling physically and mentally feeling a bit wrecked. We also talk about taper tantrums, leaning on community, racing in remission, and what it means to do everything right in training and still have a hard day. This episode is a great reminder that even if the finish doesn't come with fireworks, you still ran a marathon.

Send a textIn this episode, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts take a springtime visit to Peterchurch in the Golden Valley on Herefordshire's western border with Wales.  Standing in the corner of the churchyard, they spot the grave of a Victoria Cross winner and explore the story of Robert Jones VC of the South Wales Borderers.  They uncover the story of how Pte Jones won this highest of all gallantry awards at the Battle of Rorkes Drift in 1879, his depiction in the 1964 film Zulu, and his later life in Peterchurch after leaving the army, including his tragic death. A warning that this episode does feature the topic of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and suicide.A little later, in the nearby Boughton Arms, Andy and Paul discuss the importance of war memorials in town and village life - from the time of Robert Jones when the ordinary soldier was unlikely to be memorialised, through the Second Boer War and the First World War when such memorials became an essential focus for individual and communal grief.  The poem "Drummer Hodge" by Thomas Hardy gets a mention, along with the temporary cenotaph set up in High Town, its eventual permanent replacement in St Peter's Square, Hereford, along with a number of other local war memorials which were installed in the county between 1919 and 1926.  Kings Pyon, Walford, Staunton-on-Wye and Tupsley all get a mention, and the commissioning of the hymn "O Valiant Hearts", first sung at the unveiling of Bodenham War Memorial is explored... with perhaps a promise of a later episde.Support the showIf you like what you hear, don't forget to like and subscribe to help us reach a wider audience.

Pop Quiz! What's the name of the smallest country in the world? I'll give you a hint, it's also the heart of one of the biggest religions on the planet! You know, the home of a guy who mostly wears flowing white robes and gets driven around in this incredibly swag custom jeep. Have you already guessed? That's right, I'm talking about Vatican City, often simply called the Vatican! The Holy City only covers 121 acres - that's just 14% of New York's Central Park - and contains a tiny population of around 800 people! But it's here religious legacies such as the beautiful St Peter's Basilica can be found, making it a spiritual centre for Roman Catholicism. But for all the prayers and blessings, the walls of this city also hold a hoard of sinister secrets. From forbidden archives to sacred scams, it's time to grab your flashlights as we explore some dark secrets of the Vatican that the Popoe would rather stay hidden!Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

 3 And there came to him the Pharisees tempting him, and saying: Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?  4 Who answering, said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made man from the beginning, made them male and female? And he said:  5 For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be in one flesh. 6 Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.  7 They say to him: Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorce, and to put away?  8 He saith to them: Because Moses by reason of the hardness of your heart permitted you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.  9 And I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery.  10 His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry.[9] "Except it be": In the case of fornication, that is, of adultery, the wife may be put away: but even then the husband cannot marry another as long as the wife is living. 11 Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given.  12 For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it. [11] "All men take not this word": That is, all receive not the gift of living singly and chastely, unless they pray for the grace of God to enable them to live so, and for some it may be necessary to that end to fast as well as pray: and to those it is given from above.[12] "There are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs, for the kingdom of heaven": This text is not to be taken in the literal sense; but means, that there are such, who have taken a firm and commendable resolution of leading a single and chaste life, in order to serve God in a more perfect state than those who marry: as St. Paul clearly shews. 1 Cor. 7. 37, 38.Born in Sicily of noble parents, St Agatha suffered dreadful torture at the hands of her persecutors, but she was healed on the following night by a vision of St Peter. Other sufferings were inflicted upon her, and from these she died A.D. 254.

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair bring together two former guests, Harvey Kwiyani (episode 20) and Jide Ehizele (episode 49), for a fascinating conversation about identity, migration, and spirituality. Jide, a second-generation British Nigerian from South London, brings grounded experience and deep reflection as a writer, thinker, and youth leader, offering unique insight into the UK's cultural and spiritual landscape. Harvey, a Malawian missionary now based in Liverpool, works across the UK, Europe, and North America, and writes on African theology and God's mission in the West. They sense that the Enlightenment's legacy has weakened the West's ability to comprehend the nature of the Spirit—while for much of African Christianity this is still instinctive. As we undergo this change of era, they see the UK wrestling with identity and a growing spiritual yearning presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for church leaders. Together with Al and Jenny, they discuss how the migration of African Christians to the UK may be the Spirit's way of catalysing a sacramental spirituality that British culture has lost. Examining how guest and host can practice hospitality to each other, they explore how cultural barriers can be bridged to foster both a sense of belonging and an openness to encounter the Spirit in everyday life.Harvey Kwiyani works for the Church Mission Society (CMS) in Oxford, UK, where he leads a study centre for global witness and human migration and a Masters programme in African Christianity. Harvey is also the CEO of Global Connections, a UK-based mission network, and a director of Missio Africanus, a think tank exploring the rise and role of the African missionary movement in world missions. Harvey has published several books and holds a Ph.D. in Missions and Leadership.Jide Ehizele is a Christian thinker and writer focusing on faith, identity and cultural renewal. In his Substack, Southeast London Psalms, Jide wrestles with faith, politics and community from the perspective of a Black British Christian living in modern Britain. He also writes for The New Statesman and Unherd. Jide is an active member of St Peter's Church, Brockley, leading theology workshops and volunteering with children's ministry. The son of Nigerian parents, Jide was born and bred in Lewisham, Southeast London, and his day job is as a specialist consultant in the economics and planning of railway operations.LinksFor Jide Ehizele:https://x.com/OBEhizelehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jide-ehizele-ab28785b/https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2025/07/the-new-racism-of-the-british-righthttps://substack.com/home/post/p-168224782For Harvey Kwiyani:Substack Global Connections: www.globalconnections.org.ukLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvey-kwiyani-ph-d-039ab745/?originalSubdomain=ukTwitter: https://x.com/missioafricanus?lang=enBooks:Decolonising Mission (2024)Wash and Pray: African Theological Discourse on COVID-19 (2023)Multicultural Kingdom: Ethnic Diversity, Mission and the Church (2020)Our Children Need Roots and Wings: Equipping and Empowering Young Diaspora Africans for Life and Mission (2019)Mission-Shaped Church in a Multicultural World (2017)Sent Forth: African Missionary Work in the West (2014)For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:https://t4cg.substack.com/s/editorialshttps://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/https://x.com/T4CGhttps://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKhttps://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Who Do You Think Jesus Is? | Christ For YouText: Mark 8:27–38 | The Confession of St. PeterIn a world that chants “Caesar is lord,” Jesus asks the question you can't dodge: “Who do you say that I am?” Plenty of people will praise Jesus as a teacher, a prophet, a miracle-worker, as long as He stays safe and bloodless. But Jesus refuses that version of Him. Peter confesses the truth: “You are the Christ.” And then Jesus tells you what that confession really means: not glory without suffering, but a cross, first for Him, then for you.This sermon drives it home: you can't separate Jesus from His cross, because only the crucified Christ saves sinners. And that's also where the comfort is: your peace isn't your grip on Jesus, it's His grip on you. When the world rejects you, when confession costs you, when death gets close, Christ's wounds still say, “Paid,” and His resurrection still says, “You will rise.”Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.org

Confession of St PeterActs 4:8-13; 2 Peter 1:1-15; Matthew 16:13–19

Fr Ethan

The story of St Peter's imprisonment and miraculous release by an Angel of God is told in Acts ch. 12. The chains which fell from his hands were collected by Christians and passed down through the generations as precious relics, finally coming to Constantinople and being placed in the Church of St Peter, where they worked many miracles and healings.   There is nothing superstitious about the veneration of clothing and other objects belonging to the Saints; the Acts of the Apostles describes how handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched the Apostle Paul would heal the sick (ch. 19), and that even the shadow of the Apostle Peter healed those on whom it fell (ch. 5). In the twentieth century, a shirt worn by St Nektarios on his death-bed healed a paralyzed man. The sanctity of those united to God extends not only to their bodies but at times to their garments.

What do we learn from The Feast of the Confession of St. Peter, celebrated by the Church on January 18? The Rev. Dr. David Lewis (associate professor of Exegetical Theology, director of the Master of Divinity and Residential Alternate Route Programs, Student Association adviser and the Dr. Jack Dean Kingsbury Professor of New Testament Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about The Confession of St. Peter, including this Sunday's Gospel reading from Mark 8:27–9:1, what we discover in Jesus' words to his disciples and Peter's reply, and how we can learn about our own lives in the church from this story of St. Peter. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let's be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.

Dr. John Bombaro of St. James Lutheran-Lafayette, IN Fact-Checked SermonsThe post Looking Forward to Sunday Morning (One Year Lectionary): The Confession of St. Peter – Dr. John Bombaro, 1/13/26 (0133) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome.   Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

In its services, the Church calls St Basil a "bee of the Church of Christ": bringing the honey of divinely-inspired wisdom to the faithful, stinging the uprisings of heresy. He was born in Cappadocia to a wealthy and prominent family. Their worldly wealth, however, is as nothing compared to the wealth of Saints that they have given to the Church: his parents St Basil the Elder and St Emmelia; his sister St Macrina (July 19), the spiritual head of the family; and his brothers St Gregory of Nyssa (January 10), and St Peter, future bishop of Sebaste (January 9).   Inspired and tutored by his father, a renowned professor of rhetoric, the brilliant Basil set out to master the secular learning and arts of his day, traveling to Athens, where he studied alongside his life-long friend St Gregory of Nazianzus. When he returned from his studies in 356, he found that his mother and his sister Macrina had turned the family home into a convent, and that his brothers had also taken up the monastic life nearby. Puffed up by his secular accomplishments, he at first resisted his sister's pleas to take up a life devoted to God, but at last, through her prayers and admonition, entered upon the ascetical life.   After traveling among the monks of Egypt, Palestine and Syria, he settled in Cappadocia as a hermit, living in utter poverty and writing his ascetical homilies. A monastic community steadily gathered around him, and for its good order St Basil wrote his Rule, which is regarded as the charter of monasticism. (St Benedict in the West was familiar with this Rule, and his own is modeled on it.)   In about 370 he was consecrated Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Even as bishop, he continued to live without any possessions save a worn garment to cover himself. At this time the Arian heresy was rending the Church, and it became St Basil's lot to defend Orthodoxy in Sermons and writings, a task which he fulfilled with such erudition and wisdom that he is called "Basil the Great." He reposed in peace in 379, at the age of forty-nine.

In this Parshas Vayigash Parsha Prevew shiur, we explore one of the most fundamental ideas in Judaism: our direct relationship with Hashem — without intermediaries, mediators, or go-betweens.The Torah opens Vayigash with the words “Vayigash eilav Yehuda” — Yehuda approaches Yosef directly. Drawing on a powerful teaching from the Kedushas Levi, we learn that when something truly matters, you don't speak through a translator. You go face to face.Judaism teaches that every Jew can approach Hashem directly. He is our Father, and prayer, teshuvah, and connection require no mediator.From there, we explore a fascinating and lesser-known chapter of history:The mysterious legend of Shimon Kippah (also known as St. Peter)Jewish sources that suggest he may have played a role in separating early Christianity from JudaismCensored passages of the Talmud that discuss Yeshu HaNotzriHow Christianity adopted elements from pagan culture, including the origins of December 25thThis shiur is about understanding Jewish belief, Jewish history, and what makes our relationship with Hashem uniquely direct and personal.
