A sentence in tomorrow's Gospel; "I say to you: the kingdom of heaven will be taken from you and given to a people who will yield a harvest."
Those words are a powerful reminder that no one group has exclusive rights on the 'Word of God'.
Does that not mean that all talk about God has to involve dialogue?
Surely listening to people in the workplace, on the street, doing our daily shores is a far more refreshing, authentic and uplifting experience than being taught how to 'evangelise'.
Are the churches honestly willing to listen to the spirit of God as it is lived in the community?
