The man who wrote "Only Our Rivers" is a man who thinks before he writes. I'm with everyone else on this one. I'm sure God prefers someone who takes time to work things out and thinks things through to someone who blindly follows dogma ...

My dad got all aerated with me once because I read a piece in Church on Good Friday (I think by Bonhoffer) arguing that Judas was a hero (almost said 'lynchpin' there - oops) in the Easter story. He had a problem with that, obviously, but it had a huge effect on me. Made me *think*! These stories which question - as yours seems to do - give faith momentum.

Please post the words - I'm looking forward to seeing them!
