A collection of my recent sermons preached at my current placement in the Parish of Swan, in the Anglican Diocese of Perth. Please note I do take inspiration and ideas from a variety of sources. I acknowledge direct quotes and the ideas of others within my sermon as much as possible, and when an entire sermon borrows heavily from someone else's work (eg. a lectionary commentary) I will acknowledge this in a separate note to the sermon. I would appreciate advice if I have inadvertently used someone else's work without acknowledgement.
