words by Rev. Jennie Gordon
Has God abandoned the farm? The gate hangs open and the dogs are left to look after themselves. Where is God?
We have an online gathering each week on Zoom, where anyone from the Uniting Churches across Gippsland can share what’s been going on. This question came with five minutes left of the meeting: When people ask me, ‘Where is God in this COVID situation?’ and ‘Why would God let this global pandemic happen?’, what can I say?”
What does it mean
Rev. Deacon Wendy Elson
to love one another and know that
there are refugees needing a home?
And not taking or joining action
that will reach out
to them.

Then the hand of God
Rev. Jennie Gordon
held me gently and placed me
in a cleft of the rock,
and everything
went dark.

when a
Rev. Ian Turnnidge
mining company
can knowingly destroy
ancient and sacred sites:
when laws to protect can be so
effectively and quietly eroded;
my heart grieves.
