"Casting the Net" is upon us: The Scottish Episcopalian Church launched its new get some in intiative on whitsunday. In our church, we have symbolic fishing nets arranged with enmeshed little fishes: a tablieu redolent of the Tate Modern. Cool stuff for the kids.
Last week The Anglican gave a sermon on same: "We need to get out there" he urged in a particularly assuasive aside. They gazed back enthusiastically. We can do this he added confidently; why St. *** in the next town have got it all sown up: they have a committee; a CTN resource person: they even have a new diary of events! Isn't that just great!
An elderly lady in a large black hat with a feather smiles back reassuringly: Anglican thinks he's really got them fired up now.
Standing at the door gladhanding the troops; kid comes up and says: "when are ye goin fishen then ?
But things have a way of coming together: Next week it's the Children's Service and we have lots of little fishes to place on our little net. Anyone got a Jelly Baby?
