We marvel that in Ireland the sun still shines after a couple of weeks of summer weather and Seamus Ahearne gets in the humour to write.
“The sun shines. Faces smile. Hearts are lifted.  There is warmth in the air. There is chatter in the companionship of life. We feel better. We walk with a spring in our steps. The world around us is a revelation of mystery …………. In the dull days of faith, we need to catch the beauty and brightness of God among us. Faith cannot be fearful. God cannot be dour.”

    Back then, as junior chaplain in UCC, I did not realize to what extent a new Cork was being born. The oppressive drabness and insidious taboos they were shaking off seemed to form the very element of the church, whose decline was just setting in. The church would have benefited hugely from engaging with these young activists and visionaries. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gmz4K2z7dY&t=424s
