Love this ! Thankyou Jo as always for insightful and human takes on scripture.
My son's godfather signs off his emails with this quote : " the poor tell us who we are, so we hide them : the prophets tell us who we could be , so we kill them " - possibly a Dan Berrigan quote, but food for thought, Mon the poor and the prophets !!!
Jo - this is great thanks. You can come and preach for us anytime :-)
It's so true about the ongoing struggle to find your true vocation. I started training for ministry aged, 37, following a variety of jobs; some of which I hated and some of which were fine, but definitely not a vocation. I'm doing what I'm 'meant for' now, which doesn't mean it's always sweetness and light.
Did you get my fairly recent email, following up on the idea of bringing Queen Jesus to Sheffield? I have a District meeting on 16th March, and would like to be able to present this to them as a district project, if you're up for it. Come on a Saturday, and you'll have a preaching gig on the Sunday too!! :-)
