It's amazing the things you hear at Presbytery. This evening we were being encouraged to think in Einsteinian terms rather than Newtonian. That is, to see change as the only constant and respond to the fact that life does not always proceed in an orderly fashion. In the words of a contemporary philosopher - "D'oh!" (Bart Simpson). Faith is surely all about the entirely unpredictable nature of life. It's that irrationality to which the church responds and on which it thrives. I'll stick with the gospel according to the Simpsons, thanks.
