Theology

Anyone who’s ever broken an egg, no not a chocolate one just yet, knows how easy it is with such a thin shell to release its lovely contents. Apologies to those with an egg allergy. We occasionally talk of places being ‘thin places’ where it seems easy to break through and meet God more easily than it seems in the normal run of life. Places like Iona, the Island next to Mull, or Lindisfarne (also known as Holy Island) in Northumberland, to name just a couple. I am sure you may know of other such special places where it seems God is much closer and it has been a place of encounter. The Spirit of God has perhaps gently broken through the veil of our human made barriers of distraction, anxiety, fear, or stress and brought us peace, joy, hope and most of all a sense of being loved by the living God.
