It is good to hear a Methodist Minister talking about faith. This evenings edition of An Island Parish sees the Reverend David Easton taking a walking party around the many churches and chapels found on the Isles of Scilly.
David makes a very important point. These places of worship were built by ordinary people with whatever materials they had at hand. It was at a time when people were less "ambivalent" about their faith. Now there's a lesson for us, being less ambivalent about our faith.
I doubt if there is anyone in British Methodism today who has built a church from scratch. Yet in the past that is exactly what happened with little recourse ot committees, conferences or any central funds. Let's get back to those ideals.
