GW.In.Maureen & Kingsley Briscoe (Patrick Oliver)

W hen the teach-er asked the

class if they could name any of the seven deadly sins, Lucy put up her hand and answered, “Love, Miss”. “Love?” asked the teacher. “Were you not paying at tent ion?” “Well, that’s usually the answer!” replied Lucy.

Lucy does have a point. We tend to boil every-thing down to love when it comes to living a Christian life. Yet while love is the answer, it is not always very clear how it works out in practice. Maybe that’s why non-religious people laugh at Christians for being fixat-ed with a woolly idea of love. Many preachers get wobbly knees when they have to preach about the greatest commandments of loving God and neighbour, be-cause they are so all-embracing that it’s difficult to know how to break them down into practicalities. But we get a clue from our pas-

sage from Exodus today.

Throughout biblical history there are three categories of people who are the lit-mus test for whether our love is real or not. They are widows, orphans and for-eigners (or strangers). Why

these three types of peo-ple? If you think about it for a moment, these three groups have nothing going for them; they have no clout; they are all vulnera-ble. Widows had a low sta-tus in society because they had no “man” to speak up for them and protect them. Orphans were clearly vul-nerable since they were young and unattached with no one to fight their cause. Foreigners were away from

their natural surroundings and not culturally savvy, easy prey to those out to cheat them.

I f we are to follow the great commandment

of loving God and neigh-bour perhaps we can ask who the modern-day widows, orphans and foreigners are. Who are the people who have no clout in our society and how do we treat them? Who are the people who need our support because without it they would be vulnerable?

A nyone can love a friend. Anyone

can love a “nice” person. Anyone can love their fami-ly. But the test of our love of God is how we react to those who can offer us no advantage in return. And just in case we think that these people are invisible, perhaps we need look no further than our own street, our own place of work and our own small circles.

Thank you KSC– Race Night

The KSC council 614 would like to thank all parishioners & businesses that supported our race night at St David's church hall Mold on Friday 17th Oct,; it was a great successful evening enjoyed by all who at-tended. We raised a grand total of £1000, all of which will be going to the KSC Na-tional Action Project Mary's Meals who are striving to make effective use of our re-sources; they have now launched an emer-gency response to the Ebola outbreak by distributing food to children in their homes, because of school closures due to the Ebo-la out break. Moreover, Mary’s Meals is reacting quickly to requests from embattled health care workers to provide much-needed food aid to suspected Ebola suffer-ers. Please remember all the support care workers and Ebola sufferers in your pray-ers. Michael Cresswell Council 614 Secretary
