Pause For Thought
From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Leeds:
I have just returned from speaking at a convention in the United States. Apart from spending a couple of nights in the Watergate Hotel in Washington - and I didn鈥檛 even need to break in - I was in Virginia.
One of the things that strikes me every time I am there is that we don鈥檛 speak the same language. When I first heard someone refer to 鈥榯he recent unpleasantness鈥, I assumed that something dodgy had happened which people didn鈥檛 really want to talk about directly. Eventually I asked what had happened and they said it referred to the Civil War - which ended in 1865. That鈥檚 155 years ago.
This made me listen even more carefully to what people were saying - because I realised that not everything I was hearing meant what I thought it did. 鈥淭wo nations divided by a common language,鈥 was how George Bernard Shaw put it.
But, this repeated experience makes real a question put in one of the gospels when Jesus is talking in parables - pictures, stories, images ... you know the sort of thing. In the middle of explaining something to his friends he suddenly says: 鈥淧ay attention to how you listen.鈥 I must have read this a million times, but I didn鈥檛 notice it until very recently. 鈥淧ay attention to how you listen.鈥 Not what you listen to, but how you listen.
If you鈥檙e anything like me, you鈥檒l listen to all sorts of stuff and assume that you鈥檙e hearing what is being said. But, this can be dangerous. How we listen isn鈥檛 obvious or self-evident. Jesus clearly got it.
What this says to me is that I have to listen more carefully to people and why they might be saying what they appear to be saying. Because it might not be obvious and I might actually be missing the point. Like the audience at the Sermon on the Mount in Monty Python鈥檚 鈥楲ife of Brian鈥, it鈥檚 easy to hear the cheesemakers being blessed instead of the peacemakers.
Well, let them all be blessed. But, I need to pay attention to how I listen today.
