Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Sanctuary 2

Sanctuary
a place
a safe haven
a place to rest
sanctuary
a holy place
made holy by presence
and by love
so many need sanctuary
from the birds of the air
to the animals in danger
of extinction
from people beset by
human and conflict
and hate
to people beset merely
by their own personal demons
may the church O Lord
be a sanctuary
sacred
safe
a free and friendly space
where people can
come
and rest
and
heal
and be loved
may the church O Lord
be a sanctuary
