You are living stones

Bishop Walter Toro | 1 Peter 2:4-12 

You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Walter is the Anglican Bishop of Bolivia, and recently attended the Lambeth Conference before spending time in Birmingham strengthening links with the churches here. Walter reminds us of the unique place each of us has in the church, yet all of us are called to present Christ to the world through our lives. Walter speaks in Spanish, with English translation by David Dixie.

The recording begins with the reading from Chris Powell.
