Stuff ups

A post on Michael's blog perhaps cuts through some of the issues that have been troubling me. One state or two state solution in Israel and Palestine; and the Anglican church division.
He has some thoughts on human brokenness at:

and concludes:

Perhaps then a key way of reading the biblical texts for the purposes of liberation is to explore the way they reveal us, reflect us in our frailties, our vulnerabilities, our brokenness. And not to condemn either but to understand, to empathise, yes, to love.

Mary told me of this interview on Palestine "one state solution" at http://english.pnn.ps/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5723 I can see problems and realities here.

And an address by Bishop Lawrence at http://www.kendallharmon.net/t19/index.php/t19/article/24779/ confused me. (I admit my brain and my body is (yes it is a singular)  not working well at the moment.) I count myself as an angry anglican when the covenant is discussed but there is something missing in this defence of the anglican way that would still exclude me, my parish and my friends. Somehow Michael's post on brokenness says it. There is a human brokenness that needs to be acknowledged.

We have stuffed up, all of us, from Sharon to Arafat, from Akinola to Schori, we have a broken world to live in.

together.

thank god.
