Sermon: ‘In the name of the Father’
2 Cor. 13: 11-end/ Matt. 28:16 – end.
I spent this week with the sisters of St Clare in Freeland, just outside Oxford. It’s an Anglican Convent with some lovely feisty Sisters! It has always fascinated me that when they say the gloria, they don’t use the words that we are used to ‘Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, instead they give glory to God in these words. ‘Glory to God, source of all being, eternal word and Holy Spirit.
I’ve never asked, but I suspect that this is because they are ardent feminists and don’t like to call God ‘Father’! Nor are they happy about Jesus being a man! I happen to agree with them. Identifying the Godhead as male has had a profound and mainly negative impact on Abrahamic faiths and societies

Welcome to our website!
As part of the South Cotswolds Team Ministry we serve three villages in South Gloucestershire: Coln St Aldwyns, Hatherop and Quenington. Historically the churches at Eastleach and Southrop were part of our group, but they are now linked with St Lawrence's Church in Lechlade. Click HERE to link to St Lawrence's Website.
We meet for worship in at least one of the villages every Sunday, with a variety of traditional and contemporary services. Children and young people are always welcome, and several times a year we offer worship that is especially suitable for them.
You'll be welcomed at any of our churches whether you're a regular churchgoer, an occasional visitor or you've never been to a church service and want to find out a bit more.
Details of all our services and activities are here on our website as well as lots of other things too. Please take the time to browse around and if you can't find what you're looking for then please do contact us.
We'll be happy to help!
