When innocence is fractured
When innocence is fractured by nature’s shifting force, and paradise is ruptured as life is swept off course. We come to pray our questions, we come to share our grief; in this, our act of worship,…
This hymn was Written in response to the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004. It feels appropriate for all those in the Caribbean facing the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. If you sing it, the best tune is Aurelia (The Church's One Foundation).

Wondering with the Word: restitution
No one can be privately righteous while participating in and profiting from a programme that robs and crushes other persons.
3/3 outstanding - I know that sounds very condescending of me, but I don't know how else to say it in just a few words. Onwards and upwards! May God continue to bless your outstanding work while sitting down/standing up.

1/3 I’ve been really encouraged by one subscriber’s response to this week’s Substack post on Zacchaeus. They wrote:

"I long for a world where the outsider can find the door that lets them inside. I long for more stories of how rejected and written-off ‘failures’ can amaze us with their achievements." This week's reflection. revgareth.substack.com/p/wondering-...

I agree, Nick. And, to be honest, it's about time. All my adult life. politics has been about defeating the other. Oh for a maturity that sees the benefit of working together for the good of the country.

Politics in Wales feels a little less nasty this morning. Thankfully Farage's Regress party has fallen at its latest electoral hurdle. Caerphilly has told him, 'We're not that kind of people.' @bbcwales.bsky.social #ReformRegress #Regress #Senedd

Wondering with the Word: honest to God
If you worship yourself it’s hardly surprising that you think you’ve got this life business sorted. Frankly, if you’re that good, what else is there to pray for?
'God offers mercy to those of us who are willing to acknowledge our need of it but it requires honest self-examination to offer our true selves to God in prayer.' This week's Substack on being honest to God. open.substack.com/pub/revgaret...

Jonathan Veira sings God Who Knows Our Darkest Moments (Aberfan hymn)

I know exactly what you mean. My Dad died in April and we're struggling to sell the house. It's now being progressively emptied of furniture and possessions and feels less like Dad's every time I go in.

A crowd with King Charles, newly-announced Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mulally and Lord Don Touhig in the foreground.
Nice to see Abersychan represented at the heart of the nation. The King, the newly-announced Archbishop of Canterbury and my former newspaper colleague Don (Lord Touhig). Clipped from the BBC lunchtime news.

He/him, bi,💙. I don't normally do social media, but this place seems less aggressive than most of the internet.
