I'm so pleased to have turned on the conversation about being a pilgrim....just the chatter of voices so happy, has turned my day around! Love and blessings, Cynthia
I am in awe of Dean Robert’s knowledge and ability to teach. I first found him during the pandemic when I was living in Europe-his daily morning prayer services were my morning spiritual training and encouragement. I’m thankful to Fletcher for making this all possible as well. I am so saddened at the passing of Dean Robert, but so thankful for his teaching and that, thanks to Fletcher, it is still available to us.
You occasionally are cross with God. He gets it. He forgives you. But to lose this great man now, rest in peace, rise in glory, when we could have had another 25 years of this easily understood intellect, is very sad. I'm English, I've been going to Canterbury cathedral since 1988. I adored the lock down services the Dean gave, the cats 😊 and the fireside reading. I miss him, I really do, and his 22 years of service. This was a brilliant, and understood lecture. Requiescant in pace in gloria
Sorry, I have been trying to resist saying this for days. I am in total awe of your phenomenal teaching abilities DR. There is a purity and an ability to connect and engage with us all, regardless of our prior studies, experience, non experience that surpasses mere human. Truly Christ directed, suffused and inspired in all you share with us. I have learned more from you in the past 4 years, than I have in the previous 62! about the depths ,breadth and true message of our Christian faith. Thank you for everything.
I agree absolutely! A teacher with his gifts comes so rarely. I think we have a mission to live his words and faìth - to stand together. Sending love and blessings, Cynthia, Adelaide
Rest in peace and rise in Glory, dear Dean Robert. Thank you for all the beauty, enlightenment, and kindness that you led us to in the Garden Congregation.
What a perfect and beautiful ending, when he finishes by saying the most important thing that resonates from the Reformation is that we now have the Bible in so many different versions and languages in exiting ways, and he encourages us to read it daily emphasizing it's important's. And that the bread and the wine not only unites us with Christ but also one another, so that we become the Body of Christ doing His work on earth.
Finally i understand the notion and basis of why the CofE calls itself a broad church. Thank you Dean Robert. I loved visiting Katherine of Aragons tomb at Peterborough Cathedral. A badly treated cast aside woman sadly. It's wonderful that people from all over the world still visit and leave gifts daily. I dont think they do at Henry's.
This lecture fits well into Yale Divinity School & Yale Bible Study here on YT. Thank you two; how fluent DR is with history, second nature to him. God bless him for sharing that with us.🎉
Even if one is fairly familiar with the history, DR ‘s story telling is spellbinding and the insights revealed to us are like rich gems. Thankyou so much🙏🙏❤️❤️
Good morning DR and Fletcher. The presentation speech is outstanding Emeritus Dean Robert on the historical Christian account of the English Reformation from the 15th Century onwards and most importantly sharing to us all the responses to people's questioning.Your a voice of fortitude and strength and a great gift to all.Thank God for your voice of one in the wilderness.God bless you both
A very interesting conversation with Dean Robert about faith and the Reformation. What struck me the most was that it was the Reformation that led to translations of the Bible so that All people could read it! That is amazing and certainly a God-thing for us all. Always delightful to hear DR speak. I’m thankful that history has moved us forward in this way. And Thank You DR and Fletcher for this. ♥️♥️🌺🌺
I've found myself (unbelievably) transported some 60 years ago, as a student being taught these great lessons of our nation's history! And I feel sad that much of it seems missing in the education of today's students and dare I suggest, to the detriment of understanding "the bridge that carries us over". (BUT it could be that I'm just showing my age!?)
Good morning Violet, Thank you for your comment and I completely agree with you and believe that the lack of proper teaching of history is one of the causes for the lack of understanding of nuance and complexity as history is never clean cut and is messy but so many of the social uprisings in recent years led by people of good intent over simplify the issues and point fingers in sometimes quite unfair fashion often because the folk just don't understand that history - and thus current affairs - is complicated. The awful thing about this, as so many anti-education dictators have done in the past, is that an ignorant populace is much easier to manipulate and control but it also makes them far less rational and this combined and feeding a cancel culture through the reach of the dangerous medium of social media and absence of proper journalistic news, I believe, is one of the reasons our societies have lost the plot - everyone conscious of their rights but not their responsibilities and sure of their own rightness but not based on much firm ground and fuelled by a certainty that everyone else is wrong = cancel culture; it is much easier to shout someone down rather than admit that they themselves might be wrong or that they might both be right, in part. Apologies, but suffice to say that I am utterly onside and agree with you and worry that with ever-decreasing resourcing and cost-cutting (and now with the introduction of a tax on education in england which may well close 2/3 of the junior schools and half of the senior private schools in england with a net result of costing the national education budget an eye-watering fortune which will strip even more resources from those that are most in need through poverty, disabilities and other specific need and snowballing the deterioration of our education levels. It's all very sad!
Yes, indeed there are you are so wise! Unfortunately though there was a fixed time so it was only a quick run-through of the main points but hopefully they might be lucky enough to have you speak next time x

I still cannot quite believe that Dean Robert passed away in October. Thank God we have so much of him teaching on video.

And now he has left us!

And now he is gone. Thanks to Flecher, we have these splendid videos to learn from over and over.
Rest in peace and rise in Glory, dear Dean Robert. Thank you for all the beauty, enlightenment, and kindness that you led us to in the Garden Congregation.

Sharing this excellent presentation. Thank you very much.
Thank you for a ‘bite size’ summary of a controversial time in the history of our church. 🇦🇺🇿🇦B
Even if one is fairly familiar with the history, DR ‘s story telling is spellbinding and the insights revealed to us are like rich gems. Thankyou so much🙏🙏❤️❤️

@@GardenCongregation Thank you, I think you've summed up the current position in the UK brilliantly here, and I've added it into my Commonplace book!
Totally agree. @@GardenCongregation
