Seedtime and Harvest
The weather, the mice, the grasshoppers – so much depends on chance for the sowers and reapers,
the planters, pruners and pickers. Our lives, too, are subject to chance:
whether we were travelling on a cruise ship at the beginning of the Covid pandemic
or born near Bethlehem in 30AD to a family of shepherds
or near a creek bed in Central Australia in 1863 or 1963 or 2003.
Let us carefully examine the seeds of our Christian life.
Let us rejoice in the harvest and plant the fruits of God’s gifts wisely and with abundant generosity.
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply
your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
2 Corinthians 9:10
St Alban’s Cathedral, Pretoria has a unique placement amongst the institutions of government.
Members of the congregation will walk a prayer labyrinth at designated times
through the precincts which house the offices of decision-makers
and government technocrats whose decisions and work impact on the whole of the nation,
the walkers upholding and supporting the workers in Prayer.
