S1E3: On the accident of distance

Let’s be honest: most days, life feels less like a serene walk with God and more like trying to assemble a particularly fiddly piece of flat-pack furniture while the instructions are being chewed by the dog and you’ve misplaced the allen key.

In the relentless bustle of modern family life, the notion of “quiet time” can feel like a bit of a tall order. For a tired mother or father, the distance between the kitchen sink and the “quiet conversation of prayer” can feel like a very long way indeed…

Malachi’s ancient prophecy is unfolding before our eyes in ways that challenge our assumptions about where faith flourishes and who the missionaries really are. This isn’t just history or theology – it’s the story of what God is doing right now, in the most unexpected places, through the most unlikely people.

While it is easy to view such an event merely as another step in the Church’s journey towards “inclusion,” it might also be seen, through the eyes of faith, as a sober act of divine judgement. The question before us is not one of equality or culture, but of fidelity to the revealed will of God and the order He has established for His Church.
