“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.”
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

"You know you have created God in your own image when He hates all the same people you do."
Anne Lamott

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 Life of Brian")

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.

Rev. Frederick W. Robertson M.A.

Opening words of a sermon preached at Trinity Chapel, Brighton, 10th March, 1850.

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..

Last Words

"As I grow older and older
And totter toward the tomb,
I find that I care less and less
Who goes to bed with whom."
attributed to Dorothy L Sayers

"It’s all been rather lovely"
John Le Mesurier
