Walking & Cycling

It is becoming increasingly difficult to get about round here without a car. Now that isn’t because anything is that far away, but because of the hills and the pace of work. There is something to be said for getting about slowly though; I would not have met half the people I did this week if I had been driving the whole time. So… I’m planning to spend half a day finding easier ways to get up and down the hills here. I’m told that there is an old railway line that links Holywell to Greenfield… … that should be a good start, then I guess I will need stronger muscles and a wet-suit. Oh and probably panniers to put the reserve sacrament in – now, do I have to have a candle burning over the pannier while I’m cycling???

  • Journeying

    It is a common feature of Christianity, journeying. We go on pilgrimage together, walking alongside one another, helping each other as we go. This Christian way has been with us since forever! The Emmaus road story is about a journey, and fellowship together. What am I getting at? When someone leads worship at which another is preaching, is it not normally the case that these two people should sit together, before the congregation, pray together before and after the service and generally help each other along the way? For me this is primary, for others evidently not. Flattered though I was to be left to take the service without guidance or help, although frankly by now this should be second nature… There was a sense of distance between the sermon, (not mine) and the rest of the service, even though I had tried to integrate the two. Journeying between colleagues or those put together to prepare worship should be just that, not separate paths with no relation between the two. At an even more basic level, the lack of support shown by not participating was a distinct lack of professionalism and grace towards another member of the Christian family!!
