The groaning of creation

We screened the People’s Emergency Briefing film in the week before this message, so the climate crisis loomed menacingly. In the film, Jennifer Saunders of Absolutely Fabulous fame asks a good question: “What’s the matter with us?” What is the matter with us as a civilisation?

Euangelion (briefly) on The Future of the People of God
Some brief, non-analytical but very gratifying comments (let’s be honest) on The Future of the People of God from Joel Willitts at Euangelion, including the following:Wow! Read that again. And again. Read it several times. Surely wiser words have rarely been spoken in contemporary Pauline… ()
