Haggai 1:15-2:9; 1 Peter 2:4-9; John 2:13-22: 5 November 2025
Ten years ago today our former Abbot and current Bishop Hugh consecrated, or re-dedicated our Abbey Church. The memory of that great event remains fresh in the mind of many of us: so rich and glorious was the liturgy; so fraught with multi-layered symbolism.
Just before the scene of today’s reading from Acts, St. Luke narrates how the Apostles were miraculously freed from prison, and went straight back to the Temple to carry on preaching. There is definitely a comic side to this, as the solemn and self-righteous religious authorities are so thoroughly wrong-footed by this bunch of despised Galileans.
