Yet the church is silent. Still the UK roll's from crisis to chaos to more crisis, yet the church is silent. Silent, Silent.
Wrapped up in keeping buildings open, warmth, structures faculties, words. but Silent when we have so much to offer.
Some of what we have to offer is deeply spiritual very relevant plus pretty Rock N roll.
Bonhoeffer was known for his staunch resistance to Nazi dictatorship, including vocal opposition to Hitler's euthanasia program and genocidal persecution of the Jews. He was arrested in April 1943 by the Gestapo and imprisoned at Tegel prison and later Flossenbürg concentration camp. After being accused of being associated with the July 20th plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, he was quickly tried and then hanged on April 9, 1945.We can look outwards to modern saints some lived within my life time. BONHOFFER, OSCAR ROMERO, CHE GUAVARA.
Also explore modern prophets, ethical conduct in, COE report `Bias to the poor`. Frontline writings, Biblical exploration a plenty. There is no excuse for followers of Jesus to be silent about injustice, poverty, poor education, lack of housing, miseducation of young, lack of resources.
We got something different.
We`ve got something better.
We`ve got a servient King to share as an example.
Why are we some embarrassed even ashamed to point others to our heritage?
We have so much to say that will by our words, bring us into encounters, relationships, where we bring hope. Standing alongside the outsiders forge relationships with dialogue, where our policies in biblical context can bring renewal, hope, and promote harmony. Yes we can shout at the chaos. Bring power to the down trodden. Yet we remain silent.
Equal relationships should be established to talk, refresh, discover, listen and work out best way to combat issues many face.. Kevin Waller Church Pastor.
