Dear Friends, What are we drinking? Now there’s a question to get you talking in the lead up to Christmas! Let’s be honest we do a lot of drinking in the churches around the Circuit. We drink after services, at coffee mornings, at Messy Church, at Café Church, at social events and at fund raising events. We drink when we meet together as members of the fellowship and when we invite the wider community into our buildings. So clearly drinking, along with eating, is an important part of our life together and it sends messages to those we invite into our life as a church. The question, “what are we drinking?” is therefore one for us to think about in the life of our churches. The particular question that I want to ask is this: “is your church only serving Fairtrade tea and coffee when you offer refreshments?” If the answer to that question is “Yes” then great, keep up the good work supporting trade justice and fair practice as you offer hospitality. You are making an important contribution supporting vulnerable communities, providing people with proper wages and contributing to environmental protection. You are also declaring that the gospel we preach is not just fine words but has a practical impact on our lives and the lives of others. If the answer is “No” then the question follows “Why not?” Is it because you have not thought about it before? In which case I invite you to find out more about Fairtrade (visit www.fairtrade.org.uk) and then start using the tea and coffee. If you have decided that you don’t like Fairtrade tea and coffee because when you tried it many years ago the quality wasn’t very good (I would agree with you!) then try it again. The only difference these days between Fairtrade tea and coffee and other drinks is not in the quality and manufacture of the product but in the way the manufacturers source the materials from the people who grow them. But it is that difference that is crucial in providing the growers and their communities with a proper return on their labour and an opportunity to thrive and have dignity as God’s children. I heard a past President of Conference say, a number of years ago, if we chose not to use Fairtrade products if they are freely available to us we are positively choosing to support “Unfair trade”. I found them challenging words then and they continue to challenge me today and I share them with you because I think they confront us with an uncomfortable truth we all must face. At Christmas we celebrate God entering into our world, in Jesus, and we are reminded that how we live and act matters. So, what will we be drinking this season and beyond? What message will we send the world? Will we side with Fairtrade of Unfair trade?
Will we send a message of hope by what we choose to drink in our churches?
Every Blessing,
Revd Phil Taylor
