DIFFICULT THEOLOGICAL ISSUES...
We're looking at being honest in our theologies (and hopefully in our lives!) at present. But it's not as easy as it sounds. Do we REALLY believe what we claim to believe? And do we REALLY EXPERIENCE what we say we believe? What about healing? Prayer? Suffering of the innocent?

Here's an article that might get us thinking. Look at the comments too. And then think how differently many of us understand the weather, compared to the older testament thinkers, and even Jesus.

YOU'RE WELCOME!
We'd love to have a conversation with you. Hear about your dreams, and learn what we can from you.

And a question. Are you comfortable with where you are in your life today? Don't worry if you're not. M. Scott Peck once said, “The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.”

LOOKING FOR A CHURCH?
Revesby Uniting Church attempts to be a place where people can look at life, the world, the bible, and spirituality, without being coerced into a literal understanding. At the same time, it is a place where people with quite different perspectives on many issues, seem to be able to travel together. Please know that you will be very welcome at any of Revesby's events and services - we'd love to meet you!

NEW POEM
A poem from William Wordsworth.  Do we make time to see beauty?

SLAVERY IN 2012...
In our community, we are looking at slavery in the 21st century at present - tragic that some should still be slaves today - perhaps as many as 27 million people globally, according to some estimates.

AND A THOUGHT...
Some cause happiness wherever they go. Others whenever they go.

My Heart Leaps Up

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

(William Wordsworth (1770–1850))

 

Prayer for Overcoming Indifference

For the sin of silence,
For the sin of indifference,
For the secret complicity of the neutral,
For the closing of borders,
For the washing of hands,
For the crime of indifference,
For the sin of silence,
For the closing of borders.
For all that was done,
For all that was not done,
Let there be no forgetfulness before the Throne of
Glory;
Let there be remembrance within the human heart;
And let there at last be forgiveness
When your children, O God,
Are free and at peace.

(Chaim Stern)
