I went to DEF committee today, a fine body of people and all what you might call… positive, DEF standing for Diocesan Evangelical Fellowship. The point is that each of the four of us who gathered are busy making a difference. One is working in the poorest bit of Halifax transforming through collaborative work into a place where things really happen. One is, after teens of years of work, finding himself to be at the heart of a vibrant busy faith community, a real mixture from the local estates of all ages. One is a Canon of a Kenyan Cathedral working in Britain to bring the insights they have learnt to us and expertise they have to them. One is a rural vicar trying to write a blog about regeneration!
The great insight these wise sages came up with today?
Why don’t we just help each other?
So many professions are in the same boat:
We are like the preverbial swan, graceful on the surface, paddling like hell underneath.
So why don’t we just help each other?
Professional pride?
Fear?
No time?
One of my favourite sayings applies here...
Why don't we...?
Get over it.
Get on with it.
