~About St Clement's~
Ordinary Time
Twelfth Sunday after Trinity
Brothers & sisters,
In this Sunday's gospel reading we remember when the disciple Simon was given his new name; Peter, the Rock.
It is interesting to think of such nicknames in the Bible and ponder what our nicknames would be. What is our character? What role do we play in the life of the emerging Kingdom of God that characterises us? One might even go so far as to ask who we are in Christ, and contrast our first “worldly” name with that which speaks of the new part we play in God's work of salvation.
Even though we need not change our name, may we be more aware of our calling and seek to not only live accordingly but to also see ourselves as having a specific ministry to offer.
Every blessing,
Fr Myles
Rector
