Good News in a Nutshell
During the pandemic, we saw aspects of our society from a new perspective – but the discourse about how to address poverty and injustice seemed to fall back to the familiar party lines. Can we (the church) find a renewed calling in the example of Bartimaeus; helping the world to learn how to throw off our cloaks, instead of flashing our political colours at each other like matadors, learning how to debate in a respectful way, seeing beyond the same old arguments? Then we will be acting like true disciples.
