A new way

The Archbishop of Canterbury challenges us to look back to the monastic traditions as a new way of living.
His challenge comes as the world struggles with the issues of the Global Financial Crisis, climate change and so on.
As Christians we have a rich tradition of "community" which is based on mutual care, seeking the common good, and pursuing goals of peace and justice.
In the early chapters of the Acts of the Apostles we get an insight into how the first Christians lived.
A real challenge lay in how we might embrace these ideals in a very secular suburban world.
But just as the First century Christians turned the then world upside down, perhaps it is time for contemporary Christaians to turn our world upside down.
After all, we are the "resurrection people" - we have the Way, who is also Truth and Life!
Christ is Risen: Alleluia!
