The stained-glass poured its
Semi-precious light upon the altar,
Rainbow colours washing over
Sheets of sacred scripts,
In that numinous moment
When the transcendent becomes immanent.
Later, extinguishing candles, an
After-image burnt into my eyes,
I heard 'let there be light'.
It was so. And it was good.

Who am I?
One of Mr Wesley's Helpers in the East Anglia District of the British Methodist Church. All the opinions expressed in this blog are my own and there is no guarantee that Mr Wesley (or the British Methodist Church) would necessarily approve.
About Me
There is plenty of symbolism in the header picture. You are welcome to make of it what you will.
For a start, the viewer is facing east, towards the dawn - the start of a new day. Many Christian churches face east - towards Jerusalem - the place of the empty cross and where the risen Christ was first seen.
