So what do I make of a pastor who starts a meeting with scripture and theological reflection? Oh yes, THIS is why I am going into ministry. While I attended some meetings at my field ed site last week, today was my first official day 'working' there. And what a surprise, we started with today's Lectionary reading (!!) Psalm 146: I will make music to YHWH all the days of my life... do not put your trust in princes or a child of Adam, they have no power to save.
Thirty five minutes later and we have visited process theology, issues of peace and justice, the comfort of YHWH in all places, our ability as human beings to commit evil by simply saying 'no'....
Imagine the power of working in a church that actually takes scriptural reflection and faith sharing as an integral part of every day's tasks! I think YHWH has provided me with a wonderful first step on this new part of the journey. I am blessed indeed!
