Sermon by Rev Dr Stephen Atkinson, online only.
An essential part of knowing ourselves is to face our shadow side. Shadow contains what we deny because it’s painful, shameful, guilt-inducing or fearsome; this is like a yoke around our necks. But Shadow is also made up of parts of us that have never seen the light for various reasons – abandoned dreams, hopes thought too high to reach, talents we doubt. Diving into Shadow can be hard, but it can bring transformation, creativity and energy we’ve never tapped.
