Bruderhof

I’m sure there have been loads of these around for a while, but this one ( http://dailydig.bruderhof.org ) is really worthwhile. A little gem in your inbox each morning. Today’s ‘Dig’ was this…

Think what the world could look like if we took care of the poor even half as well as we do our bibles!

Far from making me guilty about not giving enough money to charity or supporting enough worthy causes, or even checking the Make Poverty History website often enough, (there’s got to be a link to that here somewhere… :o ) ) I looked at my Bible in shame and though about getting it re-covered. Not quite the message of the quote, but perhaps (I would hope) I have priorities slightly straighter than those the quote is aimed at!

Well we are on the move. 16th of August we will be in Cardiff starting the next big journey

  • non-violence

    This mornings reflection was about non-violence and the work of Pax Christi. The aim of such reflections is, I guess to make us think, listening to the breakfast conversation following this it certainly provided food for thought. But the reference to the beatitudes was mentioned, blessed be the peace makers. A wonderful book by Elias Chacour ‘We belong to the land’ has a passage about these sayings. In the Aramaic the word ‘blessed’ has an active meaning, rather than the passive nature of the English translation blessed. He would read it Get up, move, go ahead you peacemakers… Far more indicative of the nature of non-violence as it necessarily requires action as apposed to pacifism which is seemingly passive in nature.
