R eligious people often see non-religious people as out-siders. This no doubt stems from the fact that to espouse a religion is no light matter; it means taking a step that is the basis of our whole being and orientation. For religion is a life option not a leisure activity.

In the Old Testa-ment the Jewish people consid-ered themselves to be the chosen people of God to the extent that they kept clear of all dealings with the nations, the surrounding peoples and cultures. When prophets like Isaiah came along and in Gods name fore-told that all these pagan nations would be wel-come to offer worship on the holy mountain of Je-rusalem, it profoundly shocked the religious sensitivities of their audi-ence.

In the New Testament Peter makes an

astounding discovery: that God has no favour-ites and that anyone who tries to do Gods will is acceptable to God. This comes after thousands of pagans have listened to his preaching and have re-ceived the same Holy

Spirit with which he him-self has been anointed.

Things havent changed that much. We have an inbuilt tendency to think of those who do not share our faith as being on a different plane to us. Yet one thing is clear: God gives his Spirit to anyone he thinks is striving to do his will. And this should

make us stop and think: we have no monopoly on truth and goodness. While we know that our Church possesses the gifts of the Holy Spirit, it is patently obvious that the Spirit blows through Jewish people, through Muslims, through Bud-

dhists and Hin-dus.in fact, even through those who do not even believe. For all goodness and truth comes from God.

Living our faith in the power of the Spirit is a real challenge, be-cause it dares us to look at our sur-

roundings and discern the people and events that God is using today to speak to us. And of course sometimes these people and events are the last ones we would ever expect to be mouthpieces of God. But when it comes to choos-ing people, God has no favourites. Anyone who strives to do his will is acceptable.

FAVOURITE PEOPLE FAITH IN FOCUS:

Sponsorship For some in the Parish this will not come as news but the talking is finally over! My training has been going really well and with Gods blessing I will continue to stay injury free and com-plete my challenge to cycle from Lands End to John O Groats this summer. I start cycling on 20th July and aim to complete the chal-lenge over 12 days cycling. This is a personal chal-lenge but I thought it would be a good incentive to press on when the going gets tough by raising funds for a local and national charity. To that end I have elected to support our lo-cal L'Arche project and targeted a modest 2K (2 mile) . If you are able to sponsor me please visit my Just Giving page - both myself and L'Arche will be ex-tremely grateful. www.justgiving.com/Alan-Morris60
