23.01.2022 We all need habits, practices, routines, ways of thinking that sustain us in life. There isn't a one-size-fits-all approach but having a rhythm can nurture your spiritual life wherever God takes you. I explore the presence of God through: * Playing with children (particularly as Pop!) * Cycling with friends (thanks John)... * Diving deep into Scripture (Jesus is the centre) * Creating with Lego (yay Zac) * Being hospitable with food and drink (with Deb xoxoxo) What about you? #myspiritualselfie

14.01.2022 MEET OUR PEOPLE | REV DR CHRISTINE SORENSEN ? I started in February this year as Presbytery Minister (Formation and Discipleship) for the Commission for Education for Discipleship and Leadership (CEDAL). ?... The role of Presbytery Minister is similar to the roles I have held in the Uniting Church Synods of VICTAS and NSWACT, mainly working with candidates for ministry with other lay education and continuing education responsibilities. ? I have worked in theological education for lay and ordained ministries for nearly 40 years. Nearly 20 of those years were in Pakistan in women’s theological education, working with the minority church in a majority Muslim context. ? Sometimes I will be working on frameworks for our formation and education work, or I might be doing some research and preparation for teaching or preaching, and if you want to see me really engaged I’ll be teaching in one of our many programs in CEDAL! ’ /? We already know far more about Jesus than we ever put into practice. . I might be a kiwi but I have historical links to WA: Finnerty St which runs along the Fremantle Arts Centre is named after my great-great-grandfather Colonel Charles Finnerty. ? Laughing at the Devil by Amy Laura Hall. ? I’m thankful for the welcome that I’ve had from UCWA. With all the disruption of the last few months, settling in has had its challenges. Part of my role is around discipleship and I look forward to engaging with all the church, and finding out what is happening and what gaps people might see as needing addressing and how I might be able to help resource that. https://www.facebook.com/unitingchurchwa/videos/3093811940702801 See more

07.01.2022 What might CS Lewis say of our new COVID situation? ... Here’s what he said in 1948 about the mental shift required by living with the threat of the atomic bomb...: In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. How are we to live in an atomic age? I am tempted to reply: Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents. In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestorsanesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty. This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human thingspraying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of dartsnot huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds. On Living in an Atomic Age (1948) in Present Concerns: Journalistic Essays

04.01.2022 No one expected 2020. No one expected the first Christmas either. Innocents dying. People fleeing. Rulers toppled. Just like this year. 2020 has disrupted our lives. And so does Jesus’ birth.... Our calendar pivots on the ancient, calculated year of Jesus birth. A.D. anno domini, Latin for in the year of the lord, refers to the birth of Jesus Christ. "B.C." stands for "before Christ." (modern calculations put Jesus’ birth at about 4 BC) Will AD 2020 be another pivot point? I don’t think so. While 2020 has been unexpectedly extraordinary, it still doesn’t match the miraculous entry of God into the human timeline. Reflecting on the impact of Jesus, Paul begins the last verses of Romans with Now all glory to God who is able to establish you just as my Good News says. That’s my prayer for 2021. That whatever comes we may be strong, stable, steadfast and established in Jesus. While most of the world reels in eerily quiet isolation this Christmas, the usual noise and distractions that accompany our summer festival of year ending, holidays beginning, present giving, food eating and pleasure seeking continue. It’s hard, but I pray you will seek the Lord while He can be found and find strength. May it be so.
