Reflections during a Pandemic

Like all of us, Christians on Ageing has been deeply concerned about both the physical and the spiritual care of older people during the current Covid-19 pandemic. Our new booklet, Reflections during a pandemic: Covid-19 in 2020, contains a series of articles on how society has viewed the care of older people during the current crisis, and what churches and Christian organisations (including Methodist Homes) have been doing and what they can learn to do better in what is likely to be an ongoing struggle. (A5 format,28pp)

There are some things which just have to be said. We have to speak out because at the heart of the Christian message is our belief that God is not silent. God has spoken through creation itself and the evolving universe; through the human story; through the dwelling of Jesus Christ in time; through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the Church and in each believer; through the inspiration of the scriptures; and through the wisdom and the teaching of the Church through the ages.

We use words all the time. Words of welcome. Words of wisdom. Words of warmth. Words of warning. Words of wistfulness. Our words are wasted if words are just words. In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God. And the Word was God. Through him all things came to be, not one thing had its being but through him. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The Word made things happen.

As Christians, as followers of the Word, we do something about what we have heard. Our own best words are our actions.

Please tell us what you would like us to Speak Out about by contacting: info@ccoa.org.uk

Let us pray for the success of COP26

Loving God, we praise your name with all you have created. You are present in the whole universe, and in the smallest of creatures. We acknowledge the responsibilities you have placed upon us as stewards of your creation. May the Holy Spirit inspire all political leaders at COP26 as they seek to embrace the changes needed to foster a more sustainable society. Instil in them the courage and gentleness to implement fairer solutions for the poorest and most vulnerable, and commit their nations to the care of Our Common Home. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ your Son.

We only send occasionally, and do not share your information with other organisations
