A few images have been added so far. Here's a wee rough reflection that may be where we go on Sunday. But then perhaps not...
the big question is
does god fit?
if god popped into church
(maybe he does already, perhaps not)
would god fit?
god would make a mess
not so much with sweetie papers and orders of service turned into planes
(though i imagine that would happen too)
but god would make a mess of communion
laughing out loud
god would stumble over the creeds
skip a few lines of our hymns
talk when we're normally quiet
during intercession
asking us how we were
praying for us by actually speaking to us
and checking up on us rather than just 'thinking' about the person
god would get angry at our ritual politeness
our culture of church behaviour rather than our culture of faith
god would be the biggest agitator
the biggest child
the most passionate protester
the keenest rule breaker
the question is
does god fit?
god didn't fit with the pharisees religion
as he healed a man born blind
why should we imagine god would fit in our religion any more comfortably?
do we want god?
seeing is a great thing
maybe we should open our eyes
and try
