CORE VALUES
Hospitality – we seek to welcome and helping support pilgrims on the next step of their journey. Taking the time to sit with someone and listen to their story, may be life changing. Compassion - we seek to imitate Jesus as we respond with warmth and care to those in need or pain around us. (2 Corinthians 1:3-7). Inclusion – we are committed to creating an environment where all feel welcome and safe, regardless of background, racial or cultural differences. Justice – we aim to promote a balanced and fair relationship with self, neighbour, all of creation and with God. |
Something to Ponder ...
Trinity Sunday on the traditional church calendar is the Sunday after Pentecost. It seems as though we’ve been on this long, and deep spiritual journey – 100 days, in fact, from the time some disciples witnessed an event on top of a mountain that suggested there was more to Jesus than met the eye. From that occasion there was the fraught Lenten journey to Jerusalem, the arrest, trials and crucifixion of Jesus, his resurrection appearances, ascension and descent of the Holy Spirit and her charge to be the presence of Christ throughout the world for all time to come. The teachings and formulas of Trinity Sunday can seem almost as if this process can be tied up in a neat bow and put on a shelf. It can divert us from the wonder of the continuing journey and replace it with confusion and argument.
My conclusion is that you cannot explain Trinity. It is best to see that it is about relationship and live accordingly. We have the mechanical formulae and its attendant dangers of error that can divert us from the reality of the experience – that God catches us up in the lived unity of the ways in which God reveals God-self through creation, incarnation and Spirit.
