All Different, All the Same

I have posted this picture to highlight the plight of the Romanian families driven from their homes in Belfast last night news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8105488.stm . I can’t believe in the month we Commemorate the 65th anniversary of D Day, we are witnessing, in the country the operation was launched from, scenes that would not have looked out of place on Kristallnacht 1938.

 

I paraphrase the following not as an appeal to Christianity, but to common human decency:

 

“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same spirit. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same spirit that works in all. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body.” Corinthians, Chap 12.

 

The Wild Geese

 

The wild geese

have landed from Iceland.

With the Summer sun

they will gone again,

Just like you and me.

So what are you defending?
