Never seen a car he could not mend His yard is full of his machines One night in the dark I didn't make the bend And Terry was the first one on the scene With hands as rough as a farm dogs paw His fingers grip yours as tight as a wrench Later in the bar said there ought to be a law
I read your 2021 post about love and laughter and the Church of England. I wonder how that approach of "resistance" is going for you. I had to leave the Church of England when, only a few years after converting to Christianity, my eyes were opened to the rampant lack of *actual* faith and the blatant disobedience to Scripture and Holy Tradition within it. Sometimes resistance means removing oneself from a corrupt and sinful situation.
I agree as a Christian our resistance must be clothed in humility. The way up is down. Jesus is the king of an upside down kingdom. He came to shame the wise and love, laughter and non-violence shame the wise. Good job Sam. Keep thinking, praying and fleshing out these ideas.
I look forward to what you have to say about ‘offence taking’, and I assume it’s Satanic aspect?
