The Rector’s Extended Study Leave
On the first Easter Day, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb where Jesus body had been laid to rest, and finding it empty she wept in fear and disbelief. In her distress she mistook the risen Jesus for the gardener. For three months this summer our Rector Anne will be on study leave, exploring the healing nature of gardens and the therapeutic benefits of horticulture. She will be spending time with charities who offer specially designed gardens as places of healing and hope to victims of torture, to people learning to come to terms with a life-limiting disease or injury, and to disadvantaged young people recovering from addiction, depression, and abuse. May Jesus, who came alive to Mary in the garden, bless Anne and all the people she will meet this summer, and may they know God's power to heal, restore, and make new.
