So what would you like the church to be like? It's not a good idea for a building to be there just for Sundays, what a waste. We're hoping to have lots of meetings that people will want to attend. Of course everyone is always welcome at the Sunday service. I think coffee mornings where people can meet in the daytime in the week and just relax and have a chatter, are a good thing. Maybe we could sometimes do a light lunch too. We could have craft sessions where people could meet and swap skills. Maybe we could have sessions to help silver surfers understand their laptops. Also something for the children. This sounds like part of a thriving community. This looks like part of the way forward.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
