We were reminded by Father Brian today of some of the difficulties in the Old Testament. This was illustrated by a particularly miserable first reading from the Book of Job. We were also reminded of the Old Testament interpretation of illness and misfortune as punishment for sin/wrong doing. The promise of eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has liberated us from this narrow scriptural view.
Musically today we opted for some traditional hymnody as we have been unable to practice for the last few weeks through a combination of weather and illness. Various musicians and choir members are still absent through illness and we wish them a speedy recovery.
Finally we retired to the hall for an auction of unwanted Christmas presents. After reviewing the items for sale Mrs Choirboy was prompted to ask 'which Christmas ?'
