The appearances of religion V its substance

Just a few thoughts

·        Oh dear, no singing in church again this weekend. Uncertain times just keep hanging around. I wish that we were all vaccinated, but only 9% of us so far have had the 2 jabs. That probably needs to be 90%

·        We pray for farm workers across the land, especially those on temporary visas, that they and their employers will put safe working conditions first.  --  Lord, hear us.

·        Be truthful, gentle, and fearless.  --  Mahatma Gandhi
