- Notes
- "As I write this, we are still in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown". "We face new theological questions about the nature of the Eucharist and the always-present question: Where is God in the midst of suffering ?" "We have certainly learned that we can continue to connect with one another using available technology. Meetings from coast to coast to coast were able to happen without the participants leaving home. Our carbon footprint has been reduced, and work has continued. We learned new skills on Zoom, Skype and conference calls". "God is here -- now and always -- risen in the resurrection of Easter. God is here in each other -- through a window, across a driveway, over the phone or internet, in acts of kindness and compassion and caring. God is here -- and, whatever happens in the future, we know we are not alone. The church is wherever God's people proclaim this Good News". "So whatever lies ahead in the choices and decisions we need to make, we go into them in the presence of God, guided by the Holy Spirit, in the name and power of Jesus Christ. We go into them with a faith strengthened and tested through adversity. We enter it with possible trepidation -- and also with excitement at the adventure that lies before us, as it did the first disciples".
