Rev Geoff Stevenson, Chairperson of the Presbytery and Mission Strategist, writes a weekly reflection, offering an opportunity to delve deeper and recognise God (the Sacred, Holy Divine) in our midst, around, in, and through us and the world. He shares these thoughts and ideas that hold significance to him, hoping they provide something for others to ponder and inspire their own reflections in the Spirit of God.
I hope it provides something to ponder out of the challenges faced by people in our world, where power, politics and triumphalism create much pain and suffering - often using religion to mask, excuse or justify violence.
In the midst of a world where there is violence, suffering and pain, we witness the horrors of the inhumanity inflicted on one another. The recent reports of airstrikes on Rafah, where many have been killed, and the camp destroyed, are horrific.
