Annual Parochial Church Meeting

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good.
Genesis 1: v1-4

Dear Friends,
​
Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
​
When we think of resurrection, it’s easy to imagine it as a one-off event. Easter Day, Jerusalem, somewhere near a quarry called Golgotha. Maybe, we’re being super alert and referring to the general resurrection at the last day – Martha’s assumption in John 11.24.
​
But the resurrection is not an event. Like gravity it is part of the fabric of creation. It’s the way things work.
​
Here’s what I mean. God creates stuff. All the time. It’s what God does, because God wants things to exist and flourish. There is always something new for him to allow to pop up, to speak into existence. New things are always happening, creation out of nothing.
​
Physicists talk about everything appearing out of nothing – the very big – and of subatomic particles appearing and disappearing in a similar way – the very small.
​
We are part of that when we give birth, when we engage in art and craft, when we learn things, when we co-operate to make things happen, when we pray. When we love.
​
Our consciousness is a gift to us from God which helps us be aware of resurrection all around us.
​
With every blessing,
Adam
