The Cup of Reconciliation
Christian Age
Luke 22:14-20
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.…


Warburton and Tucker were contemporary bishop and dean in the same cathedral. For many years they were not even on speaking terms. It was on a Good Friday, not long before Warburton's death; they were at the Holy Table together. Before he gave the cup to the dean, he stooped down, and said in tremulous emotion, "Dear Tucker, let this be the cup of reconciliation between us." It had the intended effect; they were friends again to their mutual satisfaction.
