‘The final fruitfulness of work is actually found by choosing and living its exact opposite - the cessation of work - or Sabbath rest. Unless approximately one-seventh of life is also ceasing from work, putting spaces, paragraphs, and parentheses around my efforts, work always becomes compulsive, addictive, driven, unconscious, and actually counter-productive for the self and for those around us. We also need not to work.’ Richard Rohr, The Tasks Within the Tasks, A Spirituality of Work and non-Work.

How can you give yourself rest today?

A joy to host visiting preachers and pastors from South Korea last night - we are so grateful to everyone who helped with this event. Using an interpreter Mthr Katie and a famous South Korean preacher both spoke. Neither had seen the other’s script before the night - the theme was just ‘mission’ - so many different directions that could take - yet from opposite sides of the world and in different languages the Holy Spirit gave the same message! Both talks complimented each other so well - it felt like a powerful message from God to all of us present. A real honour for us to be part of this and we pray for the pastors as they continue on their travels today.
