How does one gossip the gospel? It isnt as odd as it sounds. A gossip (god-sib) was originally somebody related to one through God - a godparent. So really, gossiping the gospel is the act of trying to re-establish our connection with God through our relationship with the one we are all related to through Him: Jesus, his life and teachings.Beginning with Lukes warning to be on our guard for the coming of Our Lord, we are taken through the gospel readings for each Sunday of the Christian calendar year. Aswe approach the crucifixion of Christ, the underlying implications of His actions and words become alive with the problems and issues that face Christians today. Throughout these lucid and inspiringsermons are snippets of modern accounts of enlightenment, the struggles and triumphs on the path to eternal life - our own gossip of the gospel.John Parfitt was educated at Bristol Cathedral School; St Pauls College, Cheltenham; Universities of Birmingham and Southampton; and Queens College, Birmingham.
