Foundations: Word & Spirit (Lunchtime)

Ezekiel 37:1-14 The Wharf is a vibrant, bustling, thriving global financial centre with some 120,000 workers. But spiritually speaking, it’s a valley of dry bones. What hope is there?

So claims one of the characters in John Steinbeck’s epic novel ‘East of Eden’ about the biblical account of Cain and Abel. It holds up a mirror to ourselves and the world in which we now live.
