Pause For Thought
From comedian & writer Paul Kerensa:
I鈥檓 a full-time comedian. My diary may disagree. As of a few days ago, the live events went on hold, just for now. We鈥檝e taken a rather long interval 鈥 and we can鈥檛 wait for that lobby announcement, that it鈥檚 time to take our seats, that the show鈥檚 about to start again.
In a standard show, I鈥檇 walk out onstage, grab the mic, ask how everyone is 鈥 I鈥檒l certainly keep doing that 鈥 then tell a few gags, and stories. I鈥檇 joke that I watch too much TV, so my wife says turn it off, read a book. She鈥檇 say: 鈥淓ducate yourself! Do you know any words of... Churchill?鈥 I鈥檇 look up from the TV. 鈥淐hurchill? (AS CHURCHILL DOG) Ohhhhh yes! Ohhhh no no...鈥 And the audience would laugh, if they knew the advert. Maybe my wife had a point, about watching too much TV.
There might be no more live shows, for now, but it鈥檚 a brief intermission.
The same is true at my church, where this Sunday, for the first time in 700 years, they鈥檒l have no public church service. Well, our vicar, Mark, will be there, holding Holy Communion alone, continuing that chain. Many services will be live-streamed, and many windows, at 7pm this Sunday, will include lit candles, a reminder of light in the darkness, hope persisting.
One of my last gigs recently was in an ancient church building. I said to the vicar: 鈥淲hat a lovely wooden old church you have here.鈥 鈥淎hh,鈥 he said. 鈥淭he church isn鈥檛 the building, it鈥檚 the people.鈥 鈥淵es,鈥 I said. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 exactly what I meant.鈥 I joke, but that vicar was right, the church is the people. Just as Britain is the people.聽 Life continues.
This Mothering Sunday, we can make those phone calls, reach out to estranged family, help neighbours, keep connections going.
We鈥檒l come back, to the church buildings, to the restaurants 鈥 Mothering Sunday get-togethers delayed. We鈥檒l come back to the shops, to the gigs. And the music goes on: thank you Zo毛 and team. After this, we鈥檙e going to have one heck of a party. But we don鈥檛 need to wait to laugh, to share jokes and stories, to chat during this interval, before the show goes back on.
