Dear Friends, Welcome to our Newsletter. For the first time since lockdown began, we are making some changes to our online services. From today, all services will be streamed exclusively from our YouTube channel ’All Cuthbert’. We will provide links on the Facebook page and the WhatsApp group, or you can simply head to www.youtube.com and search for ’All Cuthbert’.
Hope to see you there! Stay safe! Howard
Three in One Today is the day on which, traditionally, hapless Curates are given the thankless task of preaching on one of the most difficult aspects of our faith—the Trinity. Sadly, we don’t have a Curate on whom I can drop this task, but we have someone else who may know what they are talking about…. The Trinity, though, is an aspect of our understanding of God which has caused great confusion. It has led Muslims to suggest that we worship three gods, and is so difficult to understand that it is virtually impossible to talk about without committing heresy! It is, as one of my tutors during ordination training was very fond of saying, a mystery. By which we mean that nobody actually understands the nature of God, but the Trinity is our best effort at putting into one place all the bits we think we know about God. You won’t find the Trinity expressed as such in the Bible, but it is a composite picture of God drawn from across the pages of Scripture. Theologians have tried for hundreds of years to understand the nature of God—after all, if we are created in God’s ‘image’, then knowing God’s nature will better help us to understand our own. However, it is an impossible task this side of eternity. As St Paul put it, Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect
clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now
knows me completely. I Corinthians 13:12 (NLT) It can be frustrating that we do not, cannot, really know God, but it is hardly surprising, as we are created in God’s image, not God in ours, and God is very different, “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could
imagine. Isaiah 55:8 So on Trinity Sunday, as on every other day of our short sojourn on earth, we must be satisfied that although we do not fully know God, God fully knows us. And loves us so much, He was prepared to die for us. Alleluia!
