My neighbours

my neighbours

This is a one minute sketch for a commission I am doing. Please excuse the geography, various missing seas, etc.

Christianity teaches us about loving our neighbours as ourselves. Who are our neighbours in this interconnected world which we have made for ourselves? I find, quite often, when in church, that in sermons and intercessions we rarely consider or take any interest in those beyond the Basildon borough council boundaries. Occasionally we might venture down the A127 and keep going until we get to Westminster, but that is about as far as it goes.

Yes, I know, I should volunteer to do sermons and intercessions myself if I think I could do them better.

    I had an epiphany moment sometime last autumn. I realised that my neighbours included… our next-door-neighbours. Who’d have thought it?!

    I concur with your comments about ‘neighbours’ being a tricky subject though, especially in a digital age.

    I have just spent a lovely evening with “neighbours” in a synagogue a few miles from my home, hearing a wonderful speaker talk about Dead Sea Scrolls, to a predominantly Jewish audience. I know a lot more about than I did, and I also understand my Jewish friends better.
