This is about the cleansing of the temple in John 2. The sermon is set against the backdrop of ongoing conflict within our Cathedral parish, involving the late Dean and current Bishop. Today was to mark the resumption of Eucharistic services which had been suspended for some time. So it is a very contextualised sermon, but raises a number of critical points for healthy church life. John 2:13-22. 11 March 2012.
