This reflection was given by the Jen Williams, Verger at LIverpool Cathedral and Founder of Open Table Sefton at a service held at Liverpool Cathedral celebrating Liverpool Pride.
The reading was Luke 19:29-40
In the talk Jen mentions the wonderful Elizabeth Frink "Open Hands" statue above the main doors to the Cathedral. Jen advises the following correction: Elisabeth Frink sadly died a week *after* the statue was unveiled. She watched it from home on the television & her son went to the unveiling in her place.
