Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds:聽
A quick question: what is Joe Wicks wearing for the next 24 hours of PE? I just hope he鈥檚 comfortable, that鈥檚 all. I once played a game of football when I tore my shorts and wouldn鈥檛 run - but was too embarrassed to tell anyone why not. Well, if Joe wanted to wear a leotard, he鈥檇 be accidentally celebrating the very first flying trapeze act on this day in 1859 when Jules L茅otard flew above Paris without a net. And the one-piece bit of kit he wore became known as the leotard.聽
Of course, it descended eventually into Borat鈥檚 mankini, but let鈥檚 not go there. He may not realise it, but whatever Joe wears for his marathon workout, he will also be demonstrating some deep thinking. Many people have understood human beings to be made of different components - body, mind and spirit (or soul) as if they can be separated out and that what happens in one bit has no impact on the others. I come from a tradition that has had to learn afresh that you can鈥檛 divide people up into separate and independent bits. The writers of biblical books are absolutely clear that body, mind and spirit belong together.聽
This is why people 3,000 years ago in the Middle East were being told to 鈥渓ove the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your strength.鈥� Jesus repeated it years later. Loving God meant paying attention to how the body (heart) affects the mind and the spirit ... and so on. They belong together and how we exercise the body or the mind or the spirit will determine how fit we are. This isn鈥檛 pseudo-psychology. It assumes that if our children - particularly those in need - can鈥檛 exercise their body, flex and grow their mind and imagination, and aren鈥檛 given space for spiritual wonder and discipline, then don鈥檛 be surprised if they end up with problems. Joe, whatever you鈥檙e wearing, go for it. And we鈥檒l support you as you raise the cash to help kids keep body, mind and spirit healthy.
