The Sunday gospel lectionary reading for Trinity 19 in this Year B is Mark 10.2–16. I think it is impossible to preach on this passage without dealing with the question of the consequences of Jesus’ teaching for our own attitude to and the Church’s practice in relation to divorce and remarriage, and this will make it an unusual Sunday. • The passage raises some big questions. What was the context of debate into which Jesus is speaking? Why are there differences between Mark 10 and the parallel passage in Matthew 19? How has this passage been read in the past? How does it engage with pastoral as well as theological issues today? • Come and join Ian and James as they explore these questions! Revd James Blandford-Baker is vicar of Histon and Impington, two villages just north of Cambridge. Revd Dr Ian Paul is Associate Minister of St Nic's, Nottingham, and writes the widely-read blog www.psephizo.com. • Full written commentary behind the discussion can be found in this article: https://www.psephizo.com/biblical-stu...
