"God is our shelter and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble."

From Stuart
As I write this letter, I am humbled again by the out- flowing of your good wishes and kindness.
It is hard to not be able to do what you love to do with people whom you are truly blessed to serve, and I find myself again in this position. The Spirit of Community at Logie is truly God –inspired and it is that Spirit, That Holy Spirit, uniting and teaching, that we are about to celebrate at Pentecost.
Maybe the Church the universal Church that the world has been commenting on over the last few weeks in the media, needs to seek out the Spirit that can bring peace, reconciliation and understanding to all people.
None of us in the ecclesiastical world need to be defensive, we may need to be sorry, and we may need to learn how to be more gracious but defensiveness and aggression, suppress, I believe, the spirit of love that can unite all people and show the church an example of Christ.
As we approach Pentecost let’s think about the love that unites us and can inspire us to great things in God’s name. Let us seek that spirit so that we may understand each other. Let us seek that spirit so that we can open the wonderful minds God has given us. Let us seek that spirit that we apply the words and being of Christ to the modern and complex world in which we live, living in loving community takes a lot of thinking and giving, and we are learning that at Logie. May we pray that all Christians learn to grow in a community of understanding with the world in which we are called to serve, and the people in it.
