Live the Faith, Receive the Grace – Bishop Peter Ingham’s Lenten Pastoral Message 2012 from Daniel Hopper on Vimeo.

Bishop Peter Ingham breaks open the Gospel for Sunday 19 February 2012 (Mark 2:1-12) where four people carrying a paralysed person, creatively and with determination, removed the roof and lowered their friend inside a house overcrowded with people who were listening to Jesus preach.
