Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Rev Ruth Scott, Anglican Vicar in Richmond:

Disease and natural disaster are well-known, long-standing killers of humankind. There’s another culprit that’s less obvious but equally lethal: Certainty – the kind which some people across time have felt permits or demands them to diminish, dehumanise or destroy those who don’t share their convictions. The murders of holidaymakers in Tunisia and people at prayer in Kuwait are tragic examples of this. Our hearts go out to those grieving as a result. They’re among countless numbers suffering today because of the violence of blind certainty in our world. Contrary to popular belief, it’s not a characteristic unique to any one community. It’s found among atheists as well as people who believe in God. It’s present in political movements and across cultures. It’s evident in the actions of individuals and countries who consider themselves civilised. It’s played out on a world stage and in our own backyards. A minister whose national Church had made a decision he deplored, announced to his congregation that, in response, he would be leaving. As he stood at the door at the end of the service a wise woman who had travelled the world, worked at the rock-face of human suffering and seen many clergy come and go patted his arm and said β€œI hope you’ll think again, dear – don’t be like Hitler, thinking you’re the only one who’s right!” She stands as a beacon of hope for me in a world where far too many claim to have the Truth and go on to commit terrible acts of violence as a result. In dark times we need to nurture this hope and to find ways of celebrating the joys of life. Yesterday at Glastonbury the Dalai Lama spoke of hope as β€˜the basis of our lives.’ I share his wider philosophy that, β€˜Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them…My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.’
