Peter Shimmin is a Reader in the Anglican Parish of the Northern Plain. He often finds that life with his faithful dog Jacko has strong parallels with the words of Jesus - today he reflects (with Jacko's help!) on the words of the much-loved 23rd Psalm - The Lord is my shepherd. Bethan Cannell tells her own lockdown story that's brought her back to the Island and interrupted her voluntary work with Operation Mobilisation - the world's biggest floating Book Fair, and Father Andrew Moughtin-Mumby - Rector of St Peter's Chuch in Walworth, South East London - has some stark facts about racism, and a challenging message for Windrush Day. On 22nd June, Father Andrew led a service to mark the 72nd Anniversary of the arrival of The Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in East London, bringing Jamaicans and other British Commonwealth citizens from the West Indies, to help rebuild Britain at the end of the Second World War. Today's programme includes his sermon from that service. There's music too - and if you would like to choose a favourite hymn or sacred song, email judithley@manxradio.com
