Yesterday in the sermon the phrase “a ramshackle and worm eaten faith but with the ruins still standing.” This evening I described myself as a “disillusioned evangelical”. I’m not ready not to be an evangelical, but I’m not sure I want to be one either. It really does feel like the ruins are still standing. The thing with ruins is they can be left to continue to fall down, till no one knows that there was a building there. Alternatively they can be restored to be as they were before. This can be a good thing, or just an irrelevant monument to the past. They can be preserved as they are a ruin, which can be irrelevant, or as is often the case with historic ruins a place of peace and tranquillity. Another option is that the ruins can become part of a totally new building, not resembling what went before, but relevant to the current situation. It will be interesting to see what happens to the ruins which are still standing at the moment.
