EXTRACTS FROM THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY’S NEW YEAR MESSAGE
God doesn’t do waste.
He doesn’t regard anyone as a ‘waste of space’, as not worth his time – from the very beginnings of life to its end, whether they are successful, articulate, productive or not. And so a life that communicates a bit of what God is like, is a life that doesn’t give up – that doesn’t settle down with a culture of waste and disposability – whether with people or with things.
Perhaps a good resolution for the New Year would be to keep asking what world we want to pass on to the next generation – indeed, to ask whether we have a real and vivid sense of that new generation.
God bless you all in this New Year, may you have the patience for the long view – confident that God takes the long view of you and isn’t going to give up.
Happy
New Year.
