Don’t you think that finding the sacrament on the street is as powerful a sermon as any? Maybe our definition or notion of preaching the word is just too narrow.

For half-an-hour this afternoon, myself and a couple of colleagues stood at three queens square with bread and wine and offered it to passers by. I doubted anyone would take any, but I was wrong. In the half hour we were there we had more than half-a-dozen of all sorts. A couple were from churches and the rest were complete strangers. Two different folk were guys in late 20s perhaps, one who was with a friend who stopped and got rid of his chewing gum and took bread and wine while his friend looked on a bit skeptical. Another asked if this was catholic as he was wearing a celtic hat. We said it was no ones in particular and so he took both bread and wine. In many ways it was really meaningful to stand there and just call to passers by: “bread and wine for Good Friday?” That’s all we said. And in my opinion it worked. Next year, the same?
