It is ex- perienced in the burdens and hurts buried deeply within us, the broken relationships we want so much to heal, our life journey which takes us round and round in circles without direction or obvious purpose, moral decadence, hunger, violence, lovelessness. By Keith Knill St. Paul’s United Church Oak Ridges This day is the begin- ning of Lent! Yes, we are called to travel again that road to Jerusalem with its struggle, our dark spiritual Odyssey, our battle with death and life, with despair and hope. If our féith is to be réal, this journey must also be experjencgd by n} I Why? This question looms before us. Our God of love, if all- powerful and all-knowing, must also be the god of cancer and earthquake, insensitive to the human cries of His children.

The Mint is capable of producing 700 million coins per year on a five- day week, one shift per day basis. Should demand exceed this rate of output, second and third shifts will be added, increasing effective capacity to 2.1 billion coins per year. The Mint’s present equipment produces cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, 50 cent pieces, and nickel dollars. All coins are available for general circulation. For example, it requires larger machines operating a} slower rates to manufacture a nickel dollar than it does to mint a penny.

Its’ presence is too ob- vious and terrible. Yet if God is genuinely loving and all-powerful, how could He permit senseless and grinding suffering? I am convinced the way out of this appalling dilemma is through a radical rethinking of God‘s nature and his relationship to the world. God all-powerful yet malevolent, or a benevolent but sterile Being? Traditionally, God has been considered sheer power, the actual cause of everything that happens. from the churches NEW 3‘ q PILOT GROUND SCHOOLS (Commencing week of March 21 st) 0 PRIVATE PILOT - MARCH 21, 24, 26 choice of evenings or Saturday mornings 0 INSTRUMENT RATING - MARCH 22, 7:30 PM. 0 ADVANCED and COMMERCIAL PILOT MARCH 23. 7:30 PM.

We know our decisions and actions count and make a difference. The Incarnation most em- phatically says this. In my opinion, all such understandings of God have begun in the wrong place. Fundamental to our Christian faith is not a power struggle, but “the deepest insights given in love”. At this moment, we affirm: God was in Christ. In the total person and event of Jesus Christ, there is the unveiling of God as “love”. If our faith does not say this, it says nothing at all. God is love God is revealed as love. In other words, God’s power is qualified by his nature as a ‘loving Father’. 1000 a m. â€" Bible School Classes for all ages 11.00 am. â€" Morning Serwce 7.00 pm, â€" Evening Semce Player meeting Wednesday at,8:00 pm An Old Fashioned Country Church on the Edge of the City So He moves in the world not as an absolute, powerful agent, but as an invitation, a Presence, evoking love and justice and righteousness from His people. “God so loved the world”; He has entered into relationship with His creation and has accepted the limitations of being human.
