In our Sunday morning service yesterday we organised our worship around the 23rd Psalm. We read the Psalm, our singing group gave a beautiful recital of Goodall’s, the Lord is my Shepherd and we sang Townend’s version of the Psalm together. I spoke about alternative ways of reading Psalm 23 and I concentrated on the image of God as travelling companion. My approach was greatly influenced by that of Dr Tom McDaniel whose brilliant Psalms course I attended at Palmer Theological Seminary in the early 1990s. In preparing for my sermon I also found these resources from James Charlesworth, Karl Jacobson and Rabbi Harold Kushner to be very helpful. Have a look for yourself and let me know what you think.
