We seem to just grow up with certain "religious" words. If you don't know exactly what they mean it can be a bit embarassing to ask anyone. There's always the dreadful fear that some 'holier-than-thou' person will feign shock that you don't know precisely the meaning of such a basic Christian concept.
Oh well, I'll just have to take that risk on your behalf. You needn't admit to anyone that you learnt it here.....
[I wrote these notes at the beginning of this week as part of a talk I gave in a church here in Birmingham about the work of Restore - a project I chair that supports asylum seekers and refugees, We basically need more support if we are to be able to help those who desperately need our help. If you can help, please do contact me!)
