Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Kate Bottley: 
Christians - and vicars in particular - can often be accused of not living in the real world. That couldn’t be said of Ruth Scott. She not only lived in the real world – she wanted to change it. Ruth often spoke on Pause for Thought about her most challenging work – bringing people together from communities who would normally be tearing each other apart. This took her to Africa, to Europe and closer to home – to Northern Ireland. As Ruth said: ‘to love your enemy is ultimately the only way to enable lasting peace.’ 
All sorts of people felt they could talk to Ruth. Perhaps this was because she trained as a nurse and later a midwife – two professions who are good at listening. In the early 1990s Ruth’s life changed direction when she became one of the first women priests in the Church of England. Her congregations were lucky - Ruth wasn’t your typical vicar – few can claim to have also trained as a magician and fire eater! Millions of us knew Ruth as a familiar voice on Radio 2 since the days of Sir Terry. Over the years she befriended many of the DJs and production teams. 
But it was a desire to share something important with you lovely listeners that brought her to the studio. Ruth’s scripts were always honest. She was never one to dodge a harsh reality and in the last few years Ruth spoke movingly about her illness. During a spell when she felt well enough, Ruth and her husband Chris had few days break in Cornwall. They were out for a meal at a restaurant when the owner asked if they were celebrating anything in particular. ‘Being alive’ Ruth said. The owner ripped up the bill. The meal was his gift. It was a generous present to a person who was generous with her time and her compassion. 
We have lost a radio friend. 
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Chris and the family.
