The problem I have as Chaplain is that as soon as I say that word, ‘God’, people hearing it are off in about 200 different directions, some warm, some negative, some hopeful, some dismissive. People are imagining a God who they feel has dealt them fate indiscriminately, or a God who they consider is exclusive, judgemental or rejecting. Read more

From time to time we are presented with challenging situations where we receive challenging feedback. Feedback that makes us stiffen up, want to defend ourselves or justify our actions, and sometimes even make excuses for why we acted or did things the way we did. At times it is even common place to look for others to blame, maybe justifiably but not constructively. Read more
