Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dr Jim Harris, Art Historian:

听

On Monday night, Arsenal scored one of the loveliest goals I鈥檝e ever seen. And I say Arsenal, not just the striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, because practically the entire side made it: a team of specialists contributing to a sublime whole.


I work with specialists. 听Universities are full of them. 听Not one of them has a right foot like Aubameyang鈥檚 but we academics are all pretty focused. 听Too focused. People say that we learn more and more about less and less until eventually we understand absolutely everything about absolutely nothing.


But if I understand nothing, it's equally true that no one understands everything. 听You all know that your input is only part of the show: Craig 鈥� you're a divine dancer, but maybe not so much of a stage carpenter; Steve 鈥� guitar yes, piano probably no; George 鈥� all of the singing, but I guess none of the cello.


Thing is, to make anything worthwhile happen requires a team, people who are not self-reliant but reliant on each other.


Christians believe in a God who is like that - a God who is three people, a parent, a child and a transforming spirit: a collaborative God. God, if you like, as a team.


The problem with this idea is that when you really get into it, it's mind-bendingly, punishingly complex.


Now we can choose to ignore that and pretend that God is just flowers and kittens. 听But I reckon that if faith is going to make a difference, it must think hard about hard questions.

We can鈥檛 answer them alone. 听To understand God we need other people's experience, insight and intellect. Which is precisely why faith in the world, whether you鈥檙e a Jew, Hindu or Muslim, a Buddhist, Sikh or Christian, is worked out in community. It鈥檚 why we go to church or temple, mosque or synagogue. Not because we鈥檙e dumb but because we鈥檙e just about smart enough to recognise that we need each other. 听We all need a team. And not just believers.


In a team, anything can happen. 听Which means I can sustain the fond fantasy that if only I'd found myself in the right team at the right time then I could have scored that goal on Monday night. 听It's not as ridiculous as it sounds.


No. You're right. It is.
