I wonder how many people are travelling through the Holy Land with Christian Aid's Online Pilgrimage? http://lentpilgrimage.christianaid.org.uk/?p=175
Today's stopping point, the Church of the Nativity, has become a tourist attraction and bears little similarity to the humble place where Jesus was born. Today's commentary suggests that Jesus is not in the shrine, but in the shops, cafes and markets that surround the church - in his people.
In a Circuit where the future of our old buildings is uncertain and the prospect of "letting go" of bricks and mortar causes so many tensions and disagreement, I am pleased to be reminded that it is people that count, God is to be found in people and not in empty buildings. The dwelling place for God inside us is a humble heart.
