Pause For Thought
From Nick Baines, the Bishop of Croydon:
"A couple of months ago the statue of John Lennon at Liverpool Airport was defaced. The inscription says: ‘Above us only sky’ – underneath someone had written, ‘below us only Wolves and West Ham’. By the end of the next game even this was optimistic. Lennon probably would have thought it was funny.
The most famous John Lennon song – and from which the inscription was taken – is Imagine. It’s a load of nonsense, of course, but that doesn’t stop it being memorable or even telling some truth. I still don’t understand how John Lennon wrote ‘Imagine no possessions’ on an expensive grand piano in a massive house on a huge estate worth millions.
But despite this he was getting at something really important. Unless we imagine a different and a better future – a different way of being in the world and shaping our common life – we are surely condemned to a life of fatalism or resignation to however the world is now. The Berlin Wall would still be up. Tunisians and Egyptians would stay at home and make the tea. The corrupt and the powerful would rule the roost, hoping to anaesthetise people into believing that nothing can ever change.
But human beings are made with imagination. In the creation narratives of Genesis God has a ball imagining everything into being. The Old Testament prophets beg people to wake up and dare to believe that the powerful empires are transient. The poets and musicians awaken and keep alive the echoes of another world – ringing in the memory and minds of oppressed and depressed people. Jesus dares people to live now as if heaven were already here.
I have no idea how to imagine that any bloke in shorts is worth £50 million – even with an expensive hair-do. But, footballers aside, the ordinary and powerless people of Egypt have reminded us that we need imagination – whether we be a country or an ordinary person." -
