A LETTER FROM MICHAEL WOODCOCK What is it that makes anyone distinctly christian One often hears people remarking on how so-and-so “is such a good person, a very christian person”. This seems to imply that being christian is just about being good. But an atheist can equally be good and so can a muslim or a hindu, a sikh or a buddhist. So being christian cannot just be about being “a good person”. There must be something else which makes the christian different to a good atheist or a good sikh. The word Christian means being a follower of Christ; following his teachings and example, and accepting him as being God-incarnate and the one who saves us. Following his teaching and example leads us to look at the kind of values Jesus Christ espouses. It is these values which will mark us out as distinctively Christian and they number among the following: Reverence, Wisdom, Thankfulness, Humility, Endurance, Service, Compassion, Trust, Peace, Forgiveness, Justice, Hope, Creation. Now you could say that some of these values will be held equally by the atheist or the buddhist and that would be true; there are many values we share with good people from all backgrounds in the world. However, many of these Christian values are rooted in our relationship with Christ himself. We follow a God who, in human form, came to serve those around him; demonstrating great humility and compassion. It is these particular examples by Christ that Christians try to emulate. Thankfulness is a value we can only truly express if we are conscious of the One to whom we are thankful; an atheist would have no-one or nothing to thank. Forgiveness is clearly a distinctive Christian value as we understand, first of all, our need for forgiveness and secondly where we can find that forgiveness in Jesus Christ. Justice is also powerfully displayed in Christ as on more than one occasion he sought to establish fairness, justice, and equality in his relationships and in his model of society; the Kingdom of God. It is worth pondering these Christian values listed above. How might we understand them more deeply How might we manifest them in our own lives Yours in friendship, Baptism 14 th October Emilia Jessica Kate Saunders at Holy Trinity, Winster Wedding 6 th October Jonathan Spencer & Lauren Ashworth at St. Mary’s, Crosthwaite 3
