Reflecting on the power of stories

THIS church year ,which runs from September like the academic year, the Methodist church has as its theme “Testimony”. This has been chosen by this year’s president and vice-president, the aim is for us to share how we came to be Christians, in the hope that this will encourage others. In a way it’s a throwback to the early days of Methodism when at the start of every service people from the congregation would be invited to give their testimony.

Whether we enter the store with a list, some sort of idea of what we want to buy, or with the hope that the list will form as we wonder round with our trollies, we all purchase items. The truth is, the number one aim is nearly never to create and build relationships. We never enter the store i
