Ordinary Time in the church calendar is a time for steady growth in the Gospel. This week, Canon Patrick introduces a new series on 1 Corinthians and begins with 1 Corinthians 1:1-18. The cross of Christ invites us to ponder the wisdom of God; the poor and powerless are invited to find welcome and comfort in God made man. What looks like foolishness to the world is the glorious wisdom of God.
