THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.
Rachel Davenhill who plays the organ in several of our churches has organised an event in which
there is authentic testimony from three of her Palestinian friends and a film about the plight of Palestinian fishermen. So far in the troubles in Gaza there have been some 40,000 Palestinian deaths
Those attending Rachel’s event will be from different faiths, agnostics and atheists. So, although those in attendance come from different positions regarding faith, they share many common values, a desire to see peace and feelings of curiosity and despair.
We have in our local
schools, children from Ukraine who have spent more of their lives in Tenbury than in their mother country due to the Russian invasion.
Jesus said that we are to love God with all our heart and to love our neighbour as ourselves. So, who is my neighbour? Is it only those who live within close proximity? Do we really think that this is what Jesus meant?
