Well done Al Gore ! Despite the slight exaggerations here and there he has put the environmental issue on the map for good. I went to the Church of the Ascension (Anglican) on Sunday morning and was impressed by the speaker, Allen Goddard. He is a lay preacher in the Anglican Church and he is the head of the 'A Rocha' Christian environmental movement in Pietermaritzburg. Check the website - A Rocha. He was a most inspirational speaker and we hope to have him preaching in the Hilton Methodist one Sunday. If you did not make the Sunday pm service, the theme was also around the theme of our Christian response to the generous gift of Creation. The thought that God gives, and gives, and gives and we take, and take, and take. The thought in scripture that God speaks to us through creation and how are we to hear God when our creations is spent and exploited. We hope to engage ourselves actively in looking after our part of the world in 2008. I am off on a "minister's retreat" until Thursday, so I will see you all on the weekend.
