Chris' Pause for Thought: Richard Coles
From Revβd Richard Coles, cleric and broadcaster:
Typically English scene: on holiday in deepest Suffolk, I get up to early to drive through glowing fields of just-cut wheat, past spinneys where woodpigeons coo, and ancient churches stand under wide, cloud-flecked skies⦠desperately seeking wifi.
Μύ
A supermarket, on the edge of town, provided, but it was not yet open, so I parked in its empty car park, to wait. And then another driver arrived, circled a couple of times, and parked right next to me - so closely that she couldnβt easily open the door and made rather a pantomime of struggling to get out as if somehow I had boxed her in. I wound down the window and suggested she park further off, but she just snatched her charity bag-for-life from under the Labrador and glared at me. Iβll leave you to guess which supermarket.
Μύ
I remembered once in the camper van parking on the edge of a wild beach in the west of Scotland, miles from civilisation and in the morning finding another parked so close their radio woke us up.
Μύ
Whatβs that about? Some ancient herding instinct, a primitive impulse that makes us circle our wagons? But itβs not very typical, I think, of the English, who normally keep a respectful distance. A friend of mine once answered the door to a neighbour who said, βIβm terribly sorry to bother you, and do forgive the intrusion, but I think your chimneyβs on fireβ.
Μύ
Perhaps on a deeper level than stereotypes allow, we find contradictory impulses. Church history is full of examples of people seeking God by retreating from the world,
Up a mountain, or in a misty glen, or beside a tinkling river. Thatβs partly why I take off to deepest Suffolk, or remotest Scotland; but, in truth, I have found God to be no less present in the tumult and confusions of cities, where people jostle alongside each other, making a living, competing for space, arguing over parking spaces. In my fatherβs house, said Jesus, there are many mansions; maybe heaven will be more like a crowded city than a sunny meadow. And perhaps the challenge for those who want to get there is found just as readily in the cityβs hubbub as the hermitβs cave?
