‘WITNESS’

As a word of encouragement to all our congregations and others seeking to make a difference in the world in the name of Christ, we share this poem from Anglican priest Tim Watson of Staffordshire, England, which was sent out recently by the Parish Collective:

Witness

You are faithful

In the thoughtful way

You live out your life

By each word spoken

Through small acts

Every gesture is more than

A token,

It is truth

Truth that you live

a quiet revolution

In your neighbourhood

In your community

Amidst the reality of lived life.

For you thanks is given

Grateful prayers for the witness

Present in every breath.
