Death of David Jolley

21st May 2024 By GerryBurke

Christians on Ageing is sad to announce the death on Friday 17 May 2024 of David Jolley who was our Chair until September 2023. An appreciation will be published but in the meantime prayerful support is offered to his family and thanksgiving to God for the life and work of a highly respected and much admired teacher, colleague and friend to many.

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.
