WITH THE RECENT SPATE OF SHOOTINGS and some murders, as well as violent incidents among schoolchildren, an Anglican cleric says it is time Christians move out of their comfort zones, get cracking and tackle the ills of society.
Canon Coleridge Darlington, rector of St Thomas Parish Church, said the church had to ask itself: “How can we reach them, and what do we do?”
Delivering the sermon at a service attended by Department of Emergency Management (DEM) officials service to start the hurricane season, Darlington told the congregation yesterday that for far too long, members of the church had relied on an inherited place of comfort to reach people in the secular world, but this could no longer be the norm.
“We must be comfortable when we are at worship but we must also be uncomfortable if we do not take our ministry, if we do not have an outreach, to where the people are so that they too may hear and know the riches and fulfilment of God’s love.” (SDB Media)
