In brief.
Last Sunday morning I was leading a service in a church in Edinburgh. The topic for the morning was how Christians relate to and interact with the world and the people around us (I’m afraid Mrs Robinson did get a mention).
After the service I was approached by a member of the congregation who said to me words to the effect of
I work with people with addictions, and that's the first time I've ever heard anyone say in church that that's a good thing.
That made me sad.
