JOIN US TO CELEBRATE ON EASTER DAY AT 11 A.M.

Dear Friends, On Easter Day at 11 a.m. (BST), we are sharing a simple Easter Day celebration together on zoom, thanks to a marvellous suggestion by Lesley. Clerics have volunteered to take parts and these have now been allocated, so the service is arranged. So please join us, if you would like. Also, if you have some bread and wine or blackcurrant juice with you, then these can be consecrated during the service, and if you want to have more consecrated for the coming days, bring extra. The connection details are these: 
The meeting ID is: 328-805-772
The Password is:  OEC
We start at 11 a.m.
So its worth logging on from 10.55'ish onwards.
I think its better on a computer as you can fit more faces on the screen. If you are joining us to share the service but have not an allocated part, if you mute your microphone, it reduces the background sounds that can accumulate apparently if lots of people are involved.It would be lovely to see many faces, gather many hearts and be blessed by much love

(P.S. If we are pranked - I will re start the celebration at 11.30 a.m. using an alternative set of connection details with which I can provide you, if you are genuinely interested. Please email me at archbishopjonathanblake@gmail.com)
ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE - MY LIFE - PART ONE


ARCHBISHOP JONATHAN BLAKE - MY LIFE - PART TWO

I AM PROUD OF MY WRITING, FOR JESUS’S SAKE, THAT HAS HAD ME FOUND INNOCENT IN HEAVEN, BUT TWICE A CRIMINAL ON THE EARTH. THE FIRST IN 1990 WHEN I WROTE A BIBLICAL TEXT ON THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT IN PEACEFUL PROTEST ABOUT THE BOMBING OF YOUNG IRAQI RECRUITS DURING THE FIRST GULF WAR. THE SECOND, IN 2016 WHEN I WROTE ON MY BLOG, TO ALERT THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PAEDOPHILE, AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN FORCING THE AUTHORITIES TO STOP HIM HAVING ACCESS TO CHILDREN. THERE WAS ALMOST A THIRD! IN 1997, WHEN I WAS ARRESTED FOR NAILING MY PROPOSALS FOR REFORM OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND ON THE DOOR OF CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL. WORDS ARE POWERFUL MESSAGES THAT CHALLENGE  CORRUPTION, CONFRONT THE WICKED AND CREATE A BETTER WORLD. JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD AND HIS FOLLOWERS ARE CALLED  TO COMMUNICATE HIS WORDS,  IRRESPECTIVE OF THE COST.
"You brave, courageous and wonderful man. To stand up for the truth in the face of suppression and oppression is truly an act of a pure heart."
