10 July 2011 Sermon given at Matins on 10 July 2011
The Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Canon in Residence
The Christian Church must take its place in a multi-faith society, where even ‘believers’ are not necessarily ‘belongers’. This sermon charts some of the changes in the public perception of religion, and asks whether adherence to a Faith is seen as a ‘problem’ rather than a ‘solution’.

The second sermon in the series ‘Religion in a world of Faiths’ asks Christians and Jews should relate to one another, mapping out the initiatives within both religions. Separate faiths with their own living traditions, yet joined in a common inheritance.

24 July 2011 Sermon given at Matins on Sunday 24 July 2011
The Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Canon in Residence
The third sermon in the series ‘Religion in a world of Faiths’ examines two aspects of Christianity’s relationship with Islam. Delivered in the shadow of the Islamphobic massacre in Norway, it begins with a countervailing example to the stereotypical caricature of Islam in the media. The attempt by Muslim scholars to create common ground with Christianity is then examined.

31 July 2011 Sermon given at Matins on Sunday 31 July 2011
The Reverend Andrew Tremlett, Canon in Residence
In this last sermon in the series ‘Religion in a world of Faiths’, I look at two example for a model of how the Church could engage with other Faiths and with secular society. The first is a revered priest and doctor in India; the second drawn from Benedictine spirituality. I conclude by commending ‘Hospitality and Embassy’.
