When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, an expert in the law, asked him a question to test him. "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?”
Matthew 22:34-46
It’s a good question. We might also put it thus: How do we live? Here we are, with this universe full of things and experiences, labadoodles looking for treats in cafes, terrible wars, beautiful crisp mornings in Melbourne, incomprehensibly vast supernovas and all the rest, and here we are. What is a life, and how do we live it?
No matter if we are full or peace or chaotic, joyous or in despair, God can meet with us.
Our regular Eucharist (aka communion or the Lord’s Supper). Music, prayer, contemplation, silence, maybe a sermon, maybe a chance to engage in a spiritual practice from the Christian tradition together, and, obviously, communion. Bring your dinner along and we will eat together at 7pm, then the more liturgical sort of communion at 8pm.
Our pattern is to have communion together on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, so that it pairs neatly with Taizé on the first Saturday. If you enjoy one, you might well enjoy the other :)
