Anne’s Christians on the whole are probably not aware that in the Hebrew Bible (most English translations are taken from the Greek version) God does not create ‘ex With every blessing this Eastertide nihilo’ – out of nothing – His creation is to order chaos, He broods over the deep. He Jude, Kerry and the children. shapes chaos into ordered being and life so that He may be in relationship with it. Just as an aside; the Hebrew words for ‘create’, ‘bless’ and ‘covenant’ all have the same I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION stem i.e. their meaning is at root level the same. I have often found writing about the resurrection somewhat difficult. In many On Thursday last Jan Hawkins led us ways it is a subject that I try to avoid – not to think about ‘pilgrimage’. She has that I do not believe in it, of course I do. It is organised many pilgrimages to the Holy rather like belief in the real presence of Land and so with the aid of slides we were Christ in the Eucharist, everything goes able to walk in the footsteps of Christ. swimmingly well until you try to articulate exactly ‘how’ Christ is present.

Cleverly the poet presents two alternative ways of viewing human That aside though, there are two existence in one memorable line: A different but connected thoughts that arise recognition that all will end in disaster so from belief in the resurrection. The first is get used to it, get over it and accept it and the ‘what actually happened’ kind of secondly; hope exists though it is all too thought which was covered utterly often dashed and will end as all things must inadequately in the above paragraph; the inevitably in death. Ignoring the poetic second is what does belief in the pessimism, I want to run with the second resurrection mean for us on this side of the alternative; namely that ‘hope’ exists. bar, so to speak. What does it mean in life rather than after it? Christianity is unashamedly utopian. For two thousand years or so, we have It seems to me that if the meaning of consistently believed in a better world to the resurrection is a promise that will only come – not in heaven, but here on earth. kick in after death, then it isn’t terribly We have believed and continue to believe useful now. There is, of course, nothing that there will come a time when wrong with hope in a final fulfilment nor is inequality, injustice, poverty, deprivation there anything wrong with looking forward and servitude will come to an end. Perhaps to it. It is fairly crucial to Christian belief it is because the task seems so great we that at the end of things God will not let us have, at times, tended to put all our go into the abyss of nothingness, rather He religious Easter eggs in the eschatological will take us into Himself in divine eternity.

Religious One way of thinking about the faith only makes sense of life if it is resurrection in this life is to think of it as a grounded in this life. Theological and gradual movement from death to life, spiritual reflection is all very well but unless rather than as a moment in time prior to there is something we can point to, which all was despair and after which all is something we can experience, something unfettered joy. We forget all too easily just that is real to us, then it can seem to be how far our species has come.

Much of the growth had come through LLMs and other lay ministers building on the Diocesan Centenary Initiative for Evangelism back in 2014. This had proved to be a crucial time. Parishes had got stuck in to local outreach and the on-going nurture of new Christians. In small but significant ways, congregations had begun to grow again. Internal discussion about structures and morale-sapping salami slicing of ministry had ended. The church was looking outwards again.
