Abstract

This study offers an example of ‘standing theology’, as distinguished from sitting theology and kneeling theology. The occasion, on 27 June 2021 in St Margaret of Antioch Church, Durham, marked the fiftieth anniversary of the preacher’s ordination to priesthood on 27 June 1971 in Lichfield Cathedral. The sermon was repeated on 18 July 2021 in the Church of St Mary, Wycliffe-on-Tees.
