Across the divide

I am naive enough to think that people from opposite ends of spectrums and other sides of fences can get along and eat tea and cake together.

I was interested to see, for instance, that Archbishop Desmond Tutu is to be the President of the Church Army. Their Chief Executive, ex-youthworker Mark Russell talks about it on his blog. I make no judgement about where the Church Army stand theologically because I don’t know enough about them, but all the same I was mildly surprised to hear that they’d teamed up with Archbishop Tutu, who is known for being on the more liberal side of things in the current Anglican goings-on.

I was surprised, but pleased. It is good to see people working together and getting on with the important things rather than getting bogged down in the current wrangles.
