Who do we honour in our congregations? Really? Now read the section from James in Sunday’s Lectionary… It seems to me that as churches become more embedded in the societies around them, they become more attuned the the ways of those communities, and sadly this sometimes involves being nice to the rich (who might fill the collection plate) and neglecting those in poverty. Every so often maybe we need a bit of disturbance to induce a rethink – and to take some risks. What James advocates for individuals surely goes for churches as well.
An old station seen today, very picturesque, but I can’t help being sad it’s not a station anymore and there isn’t a railway anymore. Apart from the beauty of trains, we’ve now discovered how many green transport options have been lost for ever.
