Matthew Henry John Bartlett

Communion service @ St Peter’s tonight was rather worthwhile, as it often is. At the end of his talk David gave us a task:

Much of the imagery used in these texts [Isaiah 8:11-15, 28:1-17, 1 Peter 2:1-12, Ephesians 2:19-22, Mark 12:1-12] to describe the church (rock/building stone, temple/house, priesthood/sacrifices, nation/race), are alien to our own way of life. We are called to proclaim the story of God’s mighty redemptive acts. Can you think of any contemporary image(s) or stories indigenous to our own culture(s) that capture the same truths?
