Weekly Sermon
On this page you will find our 'Weekly Sermon' columns, written by a huge range of contributors, including the Bishops and Archdeacons, plus clergy and laity from across the Diocese.
Contributors submit their columns on a rota and write around three times a year.
We are always refreshing the rota. If you want to be considered as a future contributer, email communicate@blackburn.anglican.org
These columns are free to be reproduced in local parish magazines or to be used as inpiration for other talks and sermons. Spread the word!
