So what does it mean for us today? A friend of mine expressed it this way: “it is what really makes sense of our lives”. The cross still represents a powerful symbol for our society. The symbol of the cross: an image we all know so well, and which, even in an increasingly secular country like ours, one which is still all around us: not just in churches and Christian schools but it’s true, isn’t it, so many of us wear a cross on our person on a chain as an item of jewelry, sometimes perhaps without thinking of its significance, you still find crosses in unusual places reminding us of a time when our culture was so much more interwoven with Christian faith - on old buildings, on the streets. Fr Richard will preach at Farm Street Church on Sunday 20th September. Fr Dominic was invited to preach at the invitation of the Reverend Richard Fermer as part of a pulpit swap for the ecumenical Season of Creation. The following sermon was preached by Fr Dominic Robinson SJ at our neighbouring Church of England parish, the Grosvenor Chapel.
