Disconnected jottings by the Rector of "The Saints" in rural north-east Suffolk, England.
“The test of faith is whether I can make space for difference. Can I recognise God’s image in someone who is not in my image, whose language, faith, ideals, are different from mine? If I cannot, then I have made God in my image, instead of allowing Him to remake me in His.”

The Windsor Report
"The Windsor Report" is just a Report. When did it become like The Bible? The Covenant - why do we need another Covenant? We have the Baptismal Covenant. We have the Creeds. What else do we need?

Things to Come
There shall in that time be rumors of things going astray, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia-work base, that has an attachment. At that time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer, and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock.

The Higher Truth
Wherever opposite views are held with warmth by religious-minded men, we may take for granted that there is some higher truth which embraces both. All high truth is the union of two contradictories. The truth does not lie between these two, but in a higher reconciling truth which leaves both true.
The truth will be found, not in some middle, moderate, timid doctrine, which skilfully avoids extremes, but in a truth larger than either of these opposite views, which is the basis of both, and which really is that for which each party tenaciously clings to its own view, as to a matter of life and death.

A thought
There comes a point in your life when you realize
who matters,
who never did,
who won't anymore...
and who always will.
So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future..

And totter toward the tomb,
I find that I care less and less
Who goes to bed with whom."

Perhaps the reasoning is similar to that used in this story from Sweden.

The man, who purchased his sausages in the ski resort of Åre, was surprised to find that the meat content was 104 percent.
“Personally I can’t accept that anything contains over 100 percent. And this sausage couldn’t possibly contain more than 100 percent meat as there are other ingredients stated on the label,” he wrote in the report.
After reading the label, the man asked the shop how the percentage of meat in the sausages could be so high.
He was told that more meat is required in making the sausage than actually ends up in the product.
However, not satisfied with this he decided to report the misleading label to the consumer agency, according to Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet.
At Trångsvikens Chark AB, the charcuterie that make the sausages, they agree that the labelling can be difficult to understand.
CEO Marcus Färnström explained to local newspaper Länstidningen Östersund that what it actually means is 104 grammes meat has been used per every 100g sausage.
“Of course there is a different way to declare the ingredients and perhaps that is what we’re going to have to do,” he told Länstidningen Östersund.
Okay, so some percentage of meat is lost in the process ... but they don't tell you how much. It could be that 50% is lost, so that therefore the labelling of 104% meat is meaningless unless it also declared how much was in the finished product. Note also that the label doesn't give any percentages for the other bits such as rusk, which is always used as a filler.
