cheque presented to Halton Conservation Authority who has direct us to Reading the Bible By Richard Ruggle minister of St Al ban Anglican Church In Glen Williams and St Paul Church In I have been enjoying the Bible recently And that colls for comment since we so often think of reading the Bible as a sort of solemn duty With that attitude we can end up feeling damned you don read it but satisfied if you do read it One of the reasons that we feel uncomfortable reading the Bible Is that we have never really how to go about it As with anything else say learning to drive a car we become selfconscious aware of all the problems involved and all the mistakes we make It only after hours and weeks of practice that we begin to feel at ease with what we re doing And It helps to have a gu travelled through the country before who the best roads Interpret the signs and point marks My guide during the past while has been a Jew who has written his growing up In Edinburgh He drank in so much of the Bible at home in school and in the synagogue that the book seemed daily to shape the way he thought about things Luckily he was spared the stem cold literal op to the Bible that we too often have today It t a matter of finding proof texts or forcing himself to believe something unlikely because it In the book We sometimes fall back on a text to stop us from having to think about things lo excuse ourselves from the hard task of making up our own minds The Jewish boy found that the Bible started him thinking about Cod and his people It dldn prevent him from thinking by pretending to present all the answers He old for example of ripping his blazer on the of a fence when out a neighbours garden He expanded on the truth decorated It a bit to explain to his mother what happened It was a sort of poetic licence When he mentioned lo his father that he was glad the ten commandments contained no prohibition lying the old man out that other parts of the Pentateuch specifically forbade It But the boy thought the patriarchs had lied Abraham had lied to and Jacob had lied to his own father Here was the was the spark ng discussion between father and son speaking to each in different ways And here was the Bible causing wonder In him that God should deal with patriarchs as devious as he was when being Inventive about his torn jacket For the Bible Is about us wayward folk and God dealings with us There Is Joy In those dealings and In the record of them In the best tradition of the old testament guide has great fun playing with the words of scripture It has been refreshing with my guide help to sense some of that happiness in the Bible ST GEORGES CHURCH SUNDAY Sunday February a The Eucharist a m it a Prayer ST JOHNS UNITED CHURCH OF GEORGETOWN AND GLEN
