Worst. Pastoral. Care. Ever.

My daughter and I want to nominate Friar Laurence from Romeo and Juliet as the most incompetent pastoral carer ever.
It’s hard to think of anyone who is so genuinely trying to bring about a positive outcome – from which he doesn’t seem to have any personal gain – make so many bad decisions and give such appalling advice in so concise a time frame.
And then he blames God: “A greater power than we can contradict Hath thwarted our intents”.
It’d be a wonder if no one has ended up dead on his watch before this.

Sandra McCracken has released a new album titled Christmas.
Guess what the songs are about.
It features a mix of original and traditional songs.
This one is The Space Between and features backing by Josh Garrels.
It demonstrates her capacity for heartfelt lyrics.

Earthly Citizenship Matters Too

The Christian’s citizenship is in heaven, which is why our earthly citizenship matters too.
It represents the people and place that we acknowledge we’ve been established in order to live out God’s love, and share God’s love with others.
Welcome to Australian citizenship Gabi.
Being invited to witness this special moment in life (along with so many others from MGPC) is one of the many privileges of being a pastor.
