From next Sunday’s Lectionary… “No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the LORD,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more.” (Jeremiah 31:34) – and yet here we are in 2021 still dependent on a separate group of people for learning about faith, and even to intercede for us. But how can I moan about this, because it’s been my bread and butter.
It is still exciting to think that access to God doesn’t have to be in the hands of a priestly caste.
