Roundabout
FROM THE METHODISTS
As I write this, my son has just returned after spending 6 months in Sierra Leone,
volunteering as a teacher in a secondary school, and also helping to build a
school with the Extra-Mile charity he went with. They are building a school to
take children who cannot afford an education….you may have seen similar on
the Sport Relief programme, where David Tennant was in Sierra Leone.
Listening to a few of the stories, even those children who can afford to go to
school, also have to work many hours, to help to support the family, doing jobs
like breaking stones. Children are desperate to go to school, as they see
education as a way to move out of poverty. Life is hard, and life is very different.
It’s a different world. At least it seems it, but actually it’s the same world, it’s just
not recognisable as the same world.
We expect to be able to turn on a tap and water come out, but where my son
has been sometimes it’s a 2 mile walk to a tap, we expect to switch on lights
when we want to, but for them electricity for an hour a day is a luxury, and
often not available.
Stepping into, and sharing in another person’s world, can change us as we
encounter those who are different to us. It can challenge us, and it can make
us understand more, not only about the other person but also about ourselves.
By the time you read this, my son will be in India working in an orphanage.
We may not be able to travel to different parts of the world, but we don’t have
to go far to find people who live differently to us, and have different values in
life. I always remember a little sign my mother-in-law had in her kitchen.
Never judge another person until you have walked a mile in their moccasins
Ok, so maybe that wouldn’t sell many newspapers, but it might help to build
community, if rather than judging, we tried to understand; if rather than just
looking out for ourselves we shared what we could. It may not change the
world, but it might help to change someone’s world, and that’s a great start!
Rev Jane
A PARISH PRAYER FOR MAY
Heavenly Father, we thank you for our community in which we
live; we thank you for every person who lives here; help us to
care more for our community, to share your love and to stand
for your truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
