The Bishop of Tonbridge has published his Easter message part of which reads thus:
In that remarkable act, God was saying that although the forces of negativity and destruction are part of the world and even of ourselves, they do do not have the last say. Through God's help we can rise above them and transform them, just as the surfer can change the wave that could bring destruction into a vehicle which will take him to shore more quickly. Hope and new possibilities are always there, trying to break through in the darkest moments. Over the coming months, we all face challenging times as we need to make important political and economic choices. All of us, at some point in our lives, come up against hard times, tough dilemmas and difficult decisions that need to be faced. The events of Good Friday and Easter remind us that we do not have to be victims of this world and that new life can be found in the most unlikely places.
Well, what to make of that. The forces of negativity and destruction have done for Church in Society. No hope and new possibilities there, just redundancies and dissolution. I am curious to know where new life can be found in this context.
Oh yes, almost forgot: I haven't received any response from the Bishop to my e-mails concerning the demise of Church in Society.
