A space between the places: a time to pause, pray and listen
A space between the places: a time to pause, pray and listen
In a post-Synod message to the church, Bishop Paul encouraged us to pause and reflect on the decisions made at the October 21st Regular Convention of General Synod, particularly regarding the resolution on ordination: “I commend to you this time following our Convention as a time to pause: to pray and to listen; to listen to each other and to listen to the voice of our Good Shepherd.” Bishop Paul also emphasised the importance of finding ‘liminal spaces’ in our lives as Christians. These spaces, he explained, are like doorsteps that enable us to move through things required for the next place. Read Bishop Paul’s full message, which includes two prayers for the church, below:
