Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dave Tomlinson,Ìýwriter and Vicar of St Luke’s Holloway in London:

Ìý

Last year, Canada lost one of its most beloved radio broadcasters, Stuart McLean, known for his enthralling short stories. Probably his best known character was Dave, owner of The Vinyl Café, the smallest record store in the world, with the crazy strapline: ‘We may not be big…but we’re small’. I know it sounds daft but I reckon that’s the kind of riddle Jesus might have used to say: ‘Don’t think the only way to change the world is by being powerful… you can make a difference even if you feel little and insignificant.’

Ìý

One of my pleasures in life is going into schools, talking to young people. In one class I introduced the grand idea of a ‘global ethic’ – how different religious communities could join together to affirm a common set of principles to tackle the world’s problems. One young man asked, ‘But what can we do to make a difference?’ A fellow student replied that we can do small things to help: support humane causes through online campaigns, do sponsorships for charitable projects, stand up to bullies, help elderly neighbours, look after the wild life in the garden, buy things that are fairly-traded, stop using unnecessary plastic.

Ìý

Next thing, the whole class was buzzing with questions and suggestions. And I went home, impressed, as I mostly am after such encounters, by the way young people are prepared to engage seriously with such issues. Most of all, I felt inspired by their eagerness to make modest, practical changes.

Ìý

As adults we often succumb to a culture of resignation – to a sense of helplessness that we can make a difference in the world. But it’s young people who restore my hope for the future: who remind me that I can alter things a bit if I am only willing to make the effort instead of simply handing the responsibility to those I see as more powerful. This is especially poignant in light of yesterday’s report calling on all of us to make urgent changes (small and great) to limit global warming. Jesus said the way to change the world is by planting tiny seeds of goodness in the soil of everyday life – not worrying about immediate ‘results’ but trusting that little actions eventually have big consequences. Sometimes, little things achieve more than big things. Or, as Dave so fabulously put it: We may not be big…but we’re small!’
