Episode Synopsis

On Mothering Sunday, Jonah shares a New Testament understanding of motherhood. He looks at how Jesus exemplifies honouring his mother on the cross, instituting a new family marked by subversive relationships and how this act inspired and energised the early church social ethics. Jonah ends with how our material longings and fractured relationships will be made whole in the New Jerusalem. Please note the first few seconds are missing. Jonah is reading from John 19 v 25
