Extreme Pilgrim

I’ve just finished watching Extreme Pilgrim on the new BBCi player, v.useful!! Well, I thought I had better watch the program since I preached about it in the context of epiphany!!

Revd Peter Owen Jones says that Church of England is intellectual, while one of the religions he is visiting is purely physical in its spirituality, its path to God. Well, I would have to say that after a weekend of bricklaying, I rather feel that we can do the physical as well, we just have to be slightly more creative about it. Perhaps laying the foundations of a greenhouse is not quite what he is on about…

I look forward to the next episode on Friday 9pm BBC2

Since writing the above I have realised that I always ‘write’ my sermons whilst doing something, walking, shopping, gardening etc. I guess the physical frees the mind to think clearly.

Thomas sees the kingdom coming in this poem It’s a long way off, but inside it There are quite different things going on: Festivals at which the poor man Is king and the consumptive is Healed: mirrors in which the blind look At themselves and love looks at them Back: and industry is for mending The bent bones and the minds fractured By life. It’s a long way off, but to get There takes no time and admission, Is free, if you will purge yourself Of desire and present yourself with Your need only and the simple offering Of your faith, green as a leaf
