Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Reverend Sharon Grenham-Toze, Anglican Priest and Prison Chaplain:

听

Along with Christian churches around the world, I celebrated Pentecost in my prison chapel this last Sunday. Both Rabbi Pete and Rabbi Julia have spoken about the original Jewish festival of Shavuot and the first Christian day of Pentecost came when disciples of Jesus, observant Jews, were praying in the temple in Jerusalem to celebrate that festival.

听

Suddenly the Holy Spirit is said to have come upon them like a rushing wind, and like tongues of flame, and they were able to speak in many different languages. Mysterious goings on indeed, and bystanders reckoned they were either mad or drunk! But it was a moment of profound change. After this day the disciples began to travel, spreading their message and beginning a religious movement that would influence the world - which is why it鈥檚 become known as the 鈥榖irthday鈥� of the church.

听

Well, two thousand years have passed since then, which is a lot of birthdays. We鈥檝e come to have, maybe rightly, quite a jaded view of religious institutions, especially the church. Some might feel that the 鈥榦ld lady鈥� has got a bit past it. You know, nice to hear the old stories, but completely out of touch with today.听 And I know there have been some terrible things done by people who represent religions and religious institutions.

听

But understandable frustration with a flawed institution can mean we miss the radical humanity, as well as spirituality, at the heart of the teachings of Jesus. I think about all the amazing work that鈥檚 going on in the name of the church, and it makes me want to say 鈥榯here鈥檚 life in the old girl yet.鈥� Food banks and schools, international aid agencies, children鈥檚 charities, rehabilitation of offenders, visiting the elderly - just a few examples of Christian people putting their beliefs into action.

听

Well, we had our birthday celebration in the prison chapel, and whilst there was cake, there were no gales blowing or bursts of flame. But there was a strong sense that alongside millions the world over, our birthday gift is to do all we can to make the world a better place.
