Moot Lent

Tonight I had the pleasure and privilege and speaking at the Moot Eucharist and sharing my homily on Lent. I attempted to ask what Lent was about and shared a story of when I was stuck in the desert which was one time that I remember well as a time of reflection. I think Lent is a time of Divine reflection, but also that it is a time to rediscover our personal identities and what we are created for. You can read the whole text here if you are interested, it’s less than 3 pages long with 1.5 spacing – I like to be brief.

I have loved my placement at Moot. The community is one of genuine love and respect. I have noticed over the last few weeks that we have seen a lot of visitors. I have also noticed how they are quickly included in conversations as circles and groups naturally open out to welcome others in. Moot does not seem to be a place of cliques – that in itself is refreshing to see.

Next week is my last ‘official’ Sunday at Moot. I don’t think It will be my last time here though as I feel very much a part of this community and I would like the relationship to continue.
