A sermon preached at Berkswell Church

14th June 2026. 2nd after Trinity Yr A
Exodus 19: 2-8a; Romans 5: 1-8; Matthew 9: 35 – 10:8 [9-23]
‐--------------------------------------

From our reading today from Paul's letter to the Romans:
“Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts.”

----------------------------------------------
I saw something beautiful the other day. It lasted just for a moment, a fleeting, very short moment but it was certainly beautiful. It moved me, and quite literally brought tears to my eyes. It wasn’t aesthetically beautiful. This wasn’t some sublime, if transient, moment in nature, a sunset, or a bank of flowers, it wasn’t the soaring of a bird or the leaping of a fish. Neither was it a glimpse of a great work of art. There was no Titian, no Tiepolo, combining colour and composition, light and shade to charm from the viewer a response of admiration.

This beautiful moment took place in the inauspicious surroundings of a residential home for people with dementia, one that I visit regularly. It was an exchange of smiles, an exchange of love and affection between two people. I don’t know either of them well. One is a lady, quite elderly, with very limited mobility and in an advanced state of dementia. The other is a care assistant, in her early twenties. I know a little more about her, although not much. I know her name and that she lives in Willenhall in South East Coventry, and that she catches two buses to get to work, where she does ten-hour shifts giving personal, indeed intimate care to men and women who can no longer care for themselves. I admire her. I have tried to give the kind of care that she gives, and I failed.

It took place a little before lunch-time, in the slightly shabby but cheerful residents’ lounge. The two were sitting together. The older lady reached out with her hand and gently stroked the face of the care assistant, and smiled. The carer responded, and caressed in return the elderly lady’s cheek, and looked at her with the kindest of smiles. The carer’s smile went beyond the compassion that has to be channelled in the discharge of her duties. The older lady’s smile went beyond gratitude. What I saw was unmistakably real affection, a mutual exchange of a kind of love. It was a beautiful moment.

Old age can be cruel. Not for all of us, but certainly for some. Dementia can be particularly cruel. It takes things away. It can erode your friendships and your family relationships, by taking away your ability to recognise people as your family and as your friends, it takes away your ability to interact with people whom you have known and loved, and been loved by, perhaps for decades. It can take away your words, your vocabulary and your speech, your power to communicate and express your thoughts and feelings, leaving you vulnerable to the misinterpretation of others. It can take away your memory, perhaps your memory of now, and perhaps also your memory of then, of long ago. It can take away your dignity, as you are no longer able to do for yourself what even toddlers learn to do for themselves. It can take away your autonomy, leaving you dependent entirely on others, entirely dependent, quite probably, on people you do not know. It takes away the fullness of identity, as the complex web of roles and relationships that we acquire in life become forgotten by ourselves, and which were probably never known by those who care for us. The achievements and successes, and indeed also our failures and our shame, which distinguished our lives, become unknown to the few people who surround us. Not for all, certainly, but certainly indeed for some.

And what of discipleship? Does old age and dementia take that away too? When words are taken, can prayer abide? When the coherence of the mind becomes confused, and when a wish is no sooner expressed than forgotten, what can commitment mean? When we can no longer remember our own yesterday, how can we participate properly in the collective remembrance of Jesus, which is what we are doing here, [in this Eucharist,] now? How can we love God with all our mind when our mind no longer apprehends even the reality of daily life. What happens to our discipleship? Can we, in our dementia, in any meaningful way be said to know God?

My conviction is that salvation consists in our being prepared in this life for the fullness of life in God who is himself Love, that we are made in the image of God and are slowly and inexorably being formed into his likeness, moulded into shape by God, as a potter moulds clay, taught as a parent teaches a child, licked into shape as a bitch in whelp licks life into her pups. We learn in this life here and now how to participate in God’s life yet to come. While we mature, and learn and grow, this makes sense. So when dementia destroys, hollowing out our capacity, snatching away what we know, eroding our capacity to remember, when we visibly deteriorate, in what sense are we being prepared for life in the loving community of the Kingdom of God?

It would be easy to despair . But we are Christians, and that would be wrong. Discipleship is taking up our Cross and following in the way of Christ, participating in the life of Christ. We are called to make our lives like his, to imitate him, to walk with him. To suffer alongside him. Christ did not eschew suffering, and our human suffering as men and women was shared in by God-in-Christ himself. That is what the incarnation entails. And salvation comes because Christ shared fully in our humanity, so that we may share fully in his divinity. He shared fully in our suffering in order that we may share fully in his exaltation. It would be crass to suggest that Jesus experienced dementia. Of course it would, just as it would be crass to say that taking up the cross and walking in the way of Christ leads literally to arrest, to scourging and Crucifixion. But when we look at Jesus in his Passion we see Jesus sharing fully in human degradation.

The way of the cross that we are called to follow as disciples, is indeed a way of degradation. When he was arrested in the garden, Jesus had his personal and social autonomy snatched away. He was cut off from family and friends and lost his capacity to act. As he was scourged at the pillar his body was no longer his own, no longer his to command, his movements, his motions, no longer under his control. Whipped and flayed, his body was no longer a thing of beauty, but instead a cause for shame. As he was crowned with thorns his dignity as a true king, as the only true king, his status, his very identity was wilfully misunderstood. Paraded through the streets he was dehumanised, and humiliated and became a mere subject of the power that others had over his body. On the cross itself, there is no mistaking the delirium of a man in agony. In spiritual agony. “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me” is not merely a quotation from the Psalms. It is an expression of spiritual desolation.

Human suffering, the suffering we endure, was shared by Jesus. Human degradation was shared by Jesus. The social and personal isolation. The loss of autonomy. The humiliation. The loss of dignity. The eclipsing of one’s identity. The delirium. The loss of a sense of connection to God. Jesus shared in all of that. He shared in our suffering - and we in our turn shall share in his exaltation. The degradation of the cross was followed by the glorious triumph of the Resurrection and Ascension. That is the way of the Cross. That is the way of discipleship. Always to exaltation, even if sometimes through degradation.

The twelve disciples set out on that path, on the way of the cross. They left behind their previous lives, they left behind their families. Theirs was a path of uncertainty, of suffering, of endurance. Their path of discipleship led inexorably through suffering to horrible death. Some of the twelve were themselves crucified. Some were pierced, with arrows or swords, or hacked to death. One was stoned. One, Bartholomew, was flayed of his skin. Only John died of natural causes. So from the start, discipleship was inseparable from suffering and endurance. The Christian faith grew out of their discipleship, their endurance and their suffering. Though they suffered degradation they came to share in exaltation to glory, and we remember them to this day.

Paul’s words to the Romans are true: our suffering does indeed produce hope, and a spirit of love is indeed being poured into our hearts. Through our suffering, though it be degradation and indignity, though it be delirium itself, we are formed as vessels for God’s love; formed first as recipients of love, and then formed in turn as sources of love for others, and of love for God. Even in our suffering we remain vessels for God’s love , even as we are lost, powerless, afraid, and vulnerable – in the holy state of vulnerability, in which our humanity becomes fully real. Through all this we remain both sources of love and recipients of love, because that is what God intends for us, and we will, in the end, be subsumed in God’s community of mutual self-giving love.

That exchange of smiles, that sharing of mutual affection, that love that I glimpsed, gave hope. It was a glimpse in the here and now, in the holy vulnerability of our humanity, of the exchange of love that awaits us in the coming Kingdom of God. That is where our discipleship leads. And our hope will not be disappointed.

Sermon: Trinity Sunday A
31st May 2026

Readings: Isaiah 40: 12-17, 27-end; 2 Corinthians 13:11-end; Matthew 28:16-end

In the name…

Earlier this week, Pope Leo XIV issued the first encyclical – or teaching document – of his pontificate, which is already being described as the Catholic Church’s great contribution to the debate about artificial intelligence, or AI. It has a lofty title – ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ or ‘Magnificent Humanity’ in English –, but its subtitle is more informative: ‘Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence’. The deeper subject of the Pope’s concern is not AI as such, but the human person and its definition, or, to put it another way, anthropology; not digging for early human remains but reflecting upon the nature of what it is to be human.

Recent developments in AI and other technologies give the Pope good cause for this kind of reflection, as they are blurring the boundaries between humans and machines in unprecedented ways. Because AI replicates human mental processes so well, it’s now almost impossible to distinguish human subjects from AI; they can play the ‘imitation game’ or pass the ‘Turing Test’ really easily. I find it exceedingly difficult to speak rudely to Alexa because the technology effortlessly tricks me into acting as if I’m addressing a real person, which, of course, I’m not.

The German engineer and businessman, Klaus Schwab, who devised the Davos economic summit of world leaders, wrote a book called ‘The Fourth Industrial Revolution’ to refer to the transformative effects of AI and biotechnology. Unlike past technological revolutions, which have improved the standard of living in radical ways, although there have been downsides as well, he says this latest revolution is posing more fundamental questions about the status of humanity.

Those who call themselves transhumanists seek to overcome human limitations and enhance human capabilities by developing human-machine interfaces, thereby creating a kind of cyborg humanity that melds man and machine. Those who refer to themselves as posthumanists have a more radical agenda, regarding humanity as an intermediate phase on the way to a new evolutionary stage, challenging fixed notions of what a human being is.

The Pope is in direct opposition not to technology as such – he is not a modern Luddite – but to the diminished understanding of humanity that transhumanism and posthumanism represent. Because, for the Pope, human beings possess an intrinsic dignity because they are made in the image of the Triune – or Trinitarian – God. This dignity is not dependent on intelligence, productivity, health, social status, usefulness or accomplishments but drawn out of the circulating love, relational nature and communion that define the very Essence of our Trinitarian God. This is beautifully reflected in ‘The Grace’ as expressed by the Apostle Paul in our second reading from Corinthians: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:13).

Humans bear the very image of God in this trinitarian sense. Thus, human value cannot be assessed by performance or desirability, or treated as an entity that can be optimised, upgraded, perfected, or surpassed. Our fragility, dependence, mortality, and vulnerability are not flaws to be eliminated by technology, but rather are conditions fundamental to our solidarity and communion with others. It is through awareness of our own contingency that we become attuned to the fragility of others and learn to live out of self-giving concern for their good.

In Christian terms, we become ‘transhuman’ not through technological transcendence, but through grace, love and communion with others and with God. And our flourishing is dependent on our embodied existence, which is something we bring to perfection through love’s work, rather than through the use of technology.

And it is Christ himself who reveals what true humanity is, who, though divine, is the unique expression of human life in its fullness. Christ enters the world as a vulnerable human being, experiencing suffering and death, which was not a defect to be engineered away, but part of the mysterious drama of human existence. Even in his risen life, enacted by the power of the Spirit, Christ still bears the wounds of his earthly existence, even though they are no longer sources of suffering.

And we become more fully human not by technologically surpassing humanity, but through our communion with Christ, the true and exemplary human, through whom we come to a share in the divine life. This is why Irenaeus of Lyons can say, “The glory of God is a human fully alive”, and why Athanasius of Alexandria can say, “God became what humans are, so that humans might become what God is”. We do not become divinised in a science-fictional sense. We reach our goal and destiny as human beings by sharing in the life of the Trinitarian God through Christ.

So, it is the trinitarian vision of God and the human condition that gives the Pope and us a secure foundation on which to evaluate the nature and impact of the AI that will, and is, revolutionising our way of life, and challenging our understanding of what it is to be human.

Firstly, it alerts us to the potential reversal of means and ends caused by AI. Human beings are not instruments serving ulterior ends – whether transhumanist or posthumanist – but ends in themselves, created in the image of the Trinitarian God, the ground of our inalienable dignity. Human beings are not, and must never become, as Elon Musk once memorably mused, “biological bootloaders of digital intelligence”.

Secondly, it alerts us to the potential negative impacts AI might have on human relationships, which are essential to human flourishing. Human beings are not created for radical selfishness, but to act for the good of others out of self-giving concern. This is one of the chief marks of what successive popes, including the current one, have called the ‘civilisation of love’. We can ask: is the development of AI, and its use, serving to improve human relationships and foster the communion in which those relationships flourish, or concentrating power in the hands of the few and setting people against each other? Is it fuelling the characteristics of what those popes contrastively called ‘the culture of death’: selfishness, domination, violence and more material gain?

Finally, it challenges us all to ‘discern the signs of the times’, to read our contemporary circumstances carefully to understand what God is asking of the Church in a particular moment; recognising what is at stake, asking how our faith, our ethics, and our understanding of the human condition, should shape our response. Our two other readings point us to the source of our confidence in doing so. Isaiah’s vision testifies to the presence of God the Father, who holds all creation in his hands and has vested in his Son, as our Gospel reading witnesses, all authority in heaven and on earth. We are therefore emboldened to ask what understanding of humanity AI developments presuppose, and whether that understanding aligns with the truth of the human person as Pope Leo has so brilliantly articulated in his great contribution to the debate.

Trinity Sunday provides us with the ideal opportunity to reflect afresh on our magnificent humanity, and to live out the meaning of our inherent dignity in truth, love, freedom and relationship, with others and with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit – a calling which no technological system – however sophisticated – can replicate or replace.

AMEN.

A Sermon delivered by the Revd Jan Rushton at Pentecost on Sunday 24th May 2026:

Pentecost Year A 2026 Berkswell
Readings: Acts 2.1-21; 1 Corinthians 12.3b-13; John 20.19-23

Good morning! And it’s lovely to be with you all once again!
Thank you so much Mark for inviting me!

What a rollercoaster the resurrection is!!
Forty days of Eastertide to match forty days of Lent!
And now following Ascension we arrive at Pentecost!
The filling of Jesus’ followers with the promised power of the Holy Spirit!

Year A - in which we are now, uniquely in the Church Lectionary,
offers us two versions of this powerful event -
each quite different from the other!!
I’m wondering if you noticed as our Scriptures this morning were read?

In Luke’s Book of Acts Jesus’ disciples experience his Ascension
on the Mount of Olives and only much later,
the extraordinary events of the Day of Pentecost!
In John where there is no record of Christ’s Ascension.
Jesus followers are gathered again in the Upper Room
where he now appears before them - and sends them forth with the gospel,
breathing upon them the empowering of the Holy Spirit!

So different from the fiery storm of Acts embracing these men -
and women, such that they had every appearance of being drunk!
All happening on the fiftieth day after Passover
at the Jewish feast of Shavuot or Weeks, also known as Pentecost!
Festival which celebrates the giving of the Torah to Moses
on Mount Sinai - a new beginning for the people of Israel
in a new relationship with God!

As the coming of the Holy Spirit is a new beginning for Jesus’ followers,
the beginning, the birth of the Church, Jesus’ disciples empowered
to take the gospel of forgiveness and new life
out across Israel, out across the nations!
The Spirit comes in great power, demonstrated in the disciples ability
to speak in foreign tongues such that those who have gathered
from the Jewish Diaspora across the Roman Empire,
for the mighty festivals of Passover and Shavuot,
might hear for themselves the good news of God’s unconditional love!
And indeed they are astonished and astounded
at the transformation of these uneducated Galileans!

Whatever happened here we will never know for certain,
but what we can be sure of, is that something extraordinary did happen,
that against all odds, the Church was born,
grew with astonishing speed - and we are here today!
0Luke records for us, much to celebrate this night!

And then, and then, we have John’s briefest of accounts: resurrection,
ascension and Pentecost, all rolled into
one momentous evening on the third day! Day of resurrection that is!
Which he ends with a perplexing codex!
One of the most difficult verses in the whole gospel:
John 20.23 “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

For me, this last statement,
0simply contradicts all that the gospel of John
has been at such pains to help us understand!!
Those famous verses John 3.16 and 17:

16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish but may have eternal life.
17 “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world but in order that the world might be saved through him.

I am passionate about getting the tools into our hands
that we might all be enabled to make sense
of some of these contradictions and difficult sayings which we find,
not only in the ‘old’ Hebrew Testament but in the New Testament too!

The Bible is a profound book of wisdom.
And wisdom as we know, comes from diligence, experience -
good, and bad, and much deep listening for that still small voice of God.
Neither can we do it by ourselves - we all need some help
as together we move forward into deeper understanding.
The Bible was never intended to be read as literal historical account
of God’s interactions with humans - nor as a rule-book of God’s ‘Law’ -
Jesus in his life on earth was constantly breaking the rules!

In the power of the Spirit whose gift we celebrate today!
In the power of the Spirit as we bring open minds to the text,
and a willingness to be challenged in our thinking, we grow in wisdom.
And a key tool in discovering that deeper understanding is through gaining some knowledge of the historical background to our text,
and something of the purposes of the author.

John’s gospel is likely written in Ephesus around the year 100
within a volatile and changing Greco-Roman world,
and a Church where Christians having been expelled from the synagogue
0following the destruction of the Holy City in the year 70 -
Jews and Christians each blaming each other for this catastrophe.

Yet across Asia Minor the Church had experienced phenomenal growth,
in large measure amongst Gentiles. ... And hence also,
the tragic anti-Semitism which has been read into
the pages of John’s gospel down the centuries.

This gospel written so much later than Matthew, Mark and Luke,
focuses on Christ’s divinity - ‘realised eschatology’. That is,
the understanding that eternal life has begun,
it is here now - rather than a future event.
For John in his gospel, the events in Jesus’ life are ‘signs’ of who he is,
they point to his divinity, together revealing
the infinite expanse of Jesus’ divine glory!
Jesus’ departure a necessary transition to enable
the coming of the Holy Spirit to dwell within. empower his followers.

Coming back to that odd crude sentence concerning the releasing -
or retaining of sins! tacked onto the giving of the Holy Spirit!!
Just what is it about?
Down the centuries it was the practice in each generation
of the people of Israel for their priests and scribes in synod together,
to exercise profound and prayerful exploration of their Scriptures,
seeking to hear what God was speaking to them for this day.
Then redacting - editing that is, the scriptural text.
A practice which continued into the understanding and handling
of the New Testament texts too.
For example, we have two additional ending to Mark, and one to John.
By the second century the Church had grown into
something of an institution where the ‘ordering’ its structures and practice, became necessary. Church discipline!!
Hence the later addition of that phrase: the giving of power
to church leaders to withhold forgiveness to intransigent members!!

As you will realise I have some difficulty with it!
When prayerfully considering a text,
if something doesn’t feel appropriate,
we are right to hold it up to question!
Balance it with other texts - such as Jesus’ parable of the Prodigal Son, where Jesus teaches - for those with eyes to see, ears to hear,
the unconditonal love, the unconditonal forgiveness of God the Father!

I would like to end on this feast of Pentecost, by focusing on the work
of the Holy Spirit so beautifully expressed by Paul
in his first Letter to the Corinthians.
We are each equipped with some rare gift of the Spirit peculiar to us!
Let us be watching to encourage these gifts
in our friends and neighbours!

And then, I cannot proclaim the work of the Spirit
better than Paul himself:
9 Let love be genuine; hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good;
10 love one another with mutual affection;
outdo one another in showing honour. 11 Do not lag in zeal;
be ardent in spirit; serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope;
be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer. 13 Contribute
to the needs of the saints; pursue hospitality to strangers.

Alleluia!! Christ is risen!! We belong in him!!
The Spirit dwells among us! Alleluia!!

A sermon delivered by the Rector on the Sunday after Ascension - 17th May 2026:

Acts 1:6-14; 1 Peter 4:12-14; 5:6-11; John 17:1-11

Last month, like many of you, I watched Artemis II lift off from the Kennedy Space Centre. There was something primal about it as our heads were lifted to witness 39 meganewtons of thrust, hurling human beings off the surface of the Earth into the zero-gravity of space. The BBC News Editor, Rebecca Morelle, powerfully conveyed the awe and wonder many of us felt as stupendous forces launched the first cislunar mission in over 50 years. And then, ten days later, the return: a tiny capsule blazing through the atmosphere, a streak of fire over the Pacific, and a safe splashdown off the Californian coast. For those few minutes, the whole world looked up.

Human beings have always looked up. Long before Artemis, our ancestors tilted their heads back and tried to read the sky. Our evolved upright posture allowed a habitual upward gaze, and our enlarging brains equipped us to discern celestial patterns, moonlight, and seasonal cycles. Stonehenge may well have been built as a lunar calendar — a monument to that ancient compulsion to find meaning in what lies above us. For most of human history, that meaning was framed vertically. The gods lived above. The dead lived below. We lived in between, straining upward toward the divine.

It is into that world that the Ascension story speaks — and it is precisely there that it begins to trouble us.

Jesus is lifted up. A cloud takes him from their sight. Two figures in white appear and ask the disciples why they are standing there, staring into heaven. The image is so vivid, so physical, that I remember it illustrated in a childhood Bible storybook — Jesus rising like a rocket as the disciples reach desperately for his feet to anchor him to terra firma. The problem is obvious to any modern reader. As the late Bishop John Shelby Spong observed, if you rise off the Earth, you do not go to heaven. You go into orbit. Rise far enough, and you will find yourself tracking Voyager I into interstellar space.

So what are we to do with this story?

The disciples watching Jesus ascend are not observing a feat of cosmology. They are recognising a theological pattern. Jesus — fully human, fully divine — is not travelling upward through atmospheric layers. He is passing into a different dimension of reality altogether: God’s space, which is not above the clouds but beyond space and time as we know it. And here is the crucial point: he does not leave our humanity behind. He carries it with him. One thinker has described the Ascension as the reversal of Christmas. At Christmas, the divine enters human reality. At the Ascension, human reality — our flesh, our nature, our story — is assumed into the life of God.
This is why, when the two figures in white redirect the disciples’ gaze, they are not dismissing the importance of looking upward. They are saying: now that you have seen where Christ has gone, you can look at the earth with new eyes. The Ascension gives us a vertical reference point precisely so that we can act horizontally — with clarity, with freedom, with courage. We look up in order to look out.

Nowhere is this more starkly demonstrated than in the story of Stephen.

When the Holy Spirit descends at Pentecost, that frightened cluster of disciples in an upper room is transformed. They move outward — Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the ends of the earth — with a confidence that is not their own, because they know themselves to be held by an authority that no earthly power can overrule. Stephen is the proof of it. As the stones rain down and his life ebbs away, he does not look at his killers. He looks up. And what does he see? “The glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.” The risen and ascended Lord, to whom all authority has been given — present, attentive, standing. And because Stephen sees this, he is able, in his final breath, to pray for the forgiveness of the men who are killing him.

Stephen’s upward gaze is not escapism. It is the source of his freedom.

On the night before his death, Jesus also looked up to heaven. “Father, the hour has come,” he prays — and then he defines, with extraordinary precision, what eternal life is. Not a destination. Not an elongated version of this life stretched beyond death. But this: to know the only true God and Jesus Christ whom he has sent. Eternal life is relational. It is a quality of existence, not merely a quantity of time. It begins now, in knowing, in abiding — what Jesus elsewhere calls dwelling in him as he dwells in us. Both our Gospel and our Acts readings guard against a faith that defers everything to the hereafter. The invitation is to enter that life today.

So let me return to where we began. Last month, we watched Artemis II rise into the sky, and for a few minutes, the whole world held its breath. It was a breathtaking achievement — but it was, in the end, a cosmological journey. The astronauts went up, and came back down.

The Ascension invites us into a different kind of journey. We look up, not to escape the earth, but to see it rightly. We look up so that we can look around — at our neighbours, at the stranger, at the person who has wronged us — and see them as Christ sees them. We look up so that, like Stephen, we can face even the worst the world can do and still be free.

“Throw all your anxieties on him,” writes Peter, “for he cares for you.” In Christ, we have nothing to fear. All authority has been given to the Son. And for that reason, we are equipped to carry the Gospel horizontally — to the ends of the earth, and to the person sitting next to us — without fear or favour.

AMEN
