Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

From Dr Jim Harris, Art Historian:

Ìý

On Monday night, Arsenal scored one of the loveliest goals I’ve ever seen. And I say Arsenal, not just the striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, because practically the entire side made it: a team of specialists contributing to a sublime whole.


I work with specialists. ÌýUniversities are full of them. ÌýNot one of them has a right foot like Aubameyang’s but we academics are all pretty focused. ÌýToo focused. People say that we learn more and more about less and less until eventually we understand absolutely everything about absolutely nothing.


But if I understand nothing, it's equally true that no one understands everything. ÌýYou all know that your input is only part of the show: Craig – you're a divine dancer, but maybe not so much of a stage carpenter; Steve – guitar yes, piano probably no; George – all of the singing, but I guess none of the cello.


Thing is, to make anything worthwhile happen requires a team, people who are not self-reliant but reliant on each other.


Christians believe in a God who is like that - a God who is three people, a parent, a child and a transforming spirit: a collaborative God. God, if you like, as a team.


The problem with this idea is that when you really get into it, it's mind-bendingly, punishingly complex.


Now we can choose to ignore that and pretend that God is just flowers and kittens. ÌýBut I reckon that if faith is going to make a difference, it must think hard about hard questions.

We can’t answer them alone. ÌýTo understand God we need other people's experience, insight and intellect. Which is precisely why faith in the world, whether you’re a Jew, Hindu or Muslim, a Buddhist, Sikh or Christian, is worked out in community. It’s why we go to church or temple, mosque or synagogue. Not because we’re dumb but because we’re just about smart enough to recognise that we need each other. ÌýWe all need a team. And not just believers.


In a team, anything can happen. ÌýWhich means I can sustain the fond fantasy that if only I'd found myself in the right team at the right time then I could have scored that goal on Monday night. ÌýIt's not as ridiculous as it sounds.


No. You're right. It is.
