finding God

Martyn Joseph, in Songs for the Coming Home sings that it is 'not a good time for God' / this week, the Church of Scotland tried to grasp the nettle of whether to allow a church to call a person in a gay relationship as their minister, and came up with what appears to be a fudge / or, to use another popular metaphor, they're trying to have their cake and eat it / not surprisingly, those strongly opposed to, and those strongly in favour of affirming the ministry of gay people aren't happy (based on a sample of two) / whether the compromise will win the support of ordinary members of this denomination remains to be seen ...

shockingly, this was the week a soldier was killed / on a UK street ...

I don't reckon, in comparison, that my own struggles count for much, but it was a relief, yesterday afternoon, to find some peace, sitting in the Memorial Chapel of Old St Paul's, Edinburgh ...
