It is too easy to think like our vitriolic, polarised world
Some Christians may be surprised to hear that not everyone in their church relishes the prospect of regathering at the moment.

The view from down under Down Under
Tasmania isn’t literally the end of the earth, but you can see it from here, and, like island communities everywhere, Tasmanians are fiercely independent and proud of where they live.
Jenny Cullen defines an island as ‘A place where people are usually nice to each other, nobody’s in a hurry, people stop and talk to each other on the street even in nasty weather, there are no secrets, and life just pretty much works the way it should most of the time. It’s not too complicated’. That’s what it’s like most of the time.
