Dreaming with Zechariah

In the second of Zechariah’s dream visions, a divine aide bids a surveyor rethink the project of building new walls for Jerusalem, and in the third, Yahweh bids a court restore the stained Joshua to his high-priestly role. These visions continue to suggest ways of thinking about Jerusalem, about the Jewish people, and about the church. They also continue to suggest ways of thinking about the leadership of the people of God, and in particular the leadership of the church when it is crisis, as it is in the Church of England.
