Heavenly Light
Earthly Bishops may think they can deconsecrate a building, but God's heavenly light still shines on this place. The work of generations in building this church involves more than stone and mortar. The tears of the little community at Ross at the news this church was to be sold, did not overwhelm them however.
A few communities in Tasmania have organised to raise funds to buy back "their" churches from the corporate entity that was originally gifted the land by the Crown. Like all these churches it was built by the donations of faithful parishioners, but now to be used to raise funds for consolidated revenue. I hope Bishops sleep well at night.
If you would like to help the Friends of St John's Church please visit their website and make contact. They would appreciate any assistance you can provide. www.stjohnsross.com.au/fosjrfundraising.html
So this photograph is dedicated to the faithful souls at Ross and their beautiful church building. May the light of Heaven continue to shine for years to come. This is something no mere mortal can take away!
