The realities of terror and refugees. Apt and timely.

Would be so wonderful if churches were truly sanctuaries they were meant to be. With so much turmoil in the world, we need millions of vergers like yours.

Thanks for comment Lorraine, much appreciated. There are so many up-rooted groups of people at the moment, aren’t there ?

Lovely story, and very well told. I love the insight and empathy you show with the sentence, “He senses their pure terror and for a second tunes into the enormity of exile.”

Thanks so much for your appreciation Penny. Pleased you liked the story. I have been wondering what it must be like to be a refugee, the opposite of our own sense of safety and home.

A lovely story, the verger’s kindness comes through loud and clear. That’s what churches should be for, and that’s how everyone should act, no matter which faith.

Thanks so much Gabi for your reflection, so glad you liked the story.

Made me think of the scripture passage, “A cup of cold water given in My Name. . . .” Mark 10:42. Good story.

Thanks for your reflection Linda.

A kindly priest, true to what the church stands for.

October 3, 2021 at 6:17 pm
Thanks for your comment. Let’s hope most churches make people welcome.

A moment that could mean so much, to them and to the verger

Awww… that is lovely. Would that they were all so generous…
October 3, 2021 at 6:31 pm
Thanks Dale, so glad you liked the story. You’re right, not every-one would respond like the verger does.
