T
he bishop of London, Richard Chartres, described his work and destiny as ‘ to be tossed about by storms while struggling to resolve the tension between leading and serving his people’
Taken from The Guardian 20.8.2011, A working life The bishop.
At heart do we all struggle with that kind of tension of what we should be doing and what we are actually doing?
A place at the top of the episcopal ladder is surely a daunting place and it was good to hear that eve with the work load that he has, his zeal for his ministry has not been zapped.
And as he says,” If I’m feeling weary, one morning, and encounter with a Tiggerish curate will cheer me up!”
How refreshing to know that a bit of Winnie the Pooh is alive and well and enchants us all. Must remember to remain like Tigger…
