renewed respect for the c of e
It’s Friday afternoon and I have accomplished everything I set out to do today. I have discovered, working in my current job, that I am an overly efficient person who needs quite a few things on the go at once. While this sounds like a good thing, in reality it’s annoying as I am often close to the end of my list of tasks with little incentive to finish the list as new tasks rarely come my way. I do want to have something to do tomorrow even if it only gets me an hour into the day.
Anyway . . . this week has been quite an adventure for a variety of reasons. I know I’ve already posted Peter Ould’s post on this but here’s my thoughts.
I’ve been twittering from Synod for my ever-increasing band of followers who were interested in the discussions going on. It started as a few random messages, assuming of course that no one was interested (I have no pretences – most of what I write is for myself, I assume no one will be interested in the things I have to say). Others did the same and soon we had the discussion going linked to above. It was organic, very grass-roots with a wide range of participants, and was a totally awesome to be part of it all.
Through twitter and the synod discussions, I ended up joining a group of Christians praying for
London last night on the steps of St Martins which was really challenging and exciting.
Working for an institution like the Church of England brings challenges and it is easy to forget that this whole thing is based on an organic, grass-roots movement started by JC many years ago. I think I’ve found a new sense of respect for this organisation. Getting caught up in the details is my job but beyond that there’s a lot more to this place…
cool
” I assume no one will be interested in the things I have to say”
No, much of what you say is interesting.
You still write on here! Thanks
Oh boy, you’re going to get some comments on this one!
