I drove past the Anglican Church yesterday and someone has sorted out the notice board. That someone has picked up from where last week's notice left off and it now reads:
of the shadow of death .....
I can't remember the rest but it's clearly a bible verse which will mean something to the faithful. It strikes me as odd that someone would think that last week's message which took up two lines on the board and abruptly ceased in the middle of a sentence, and which was followed, a week later, by a continuation of the same bible verse which took up every available line, would make sense to anyone.
Is it some post-modern approach to religion? Half-quote something and then keep people in suspense until you get around to finishing the sentence? I worry about the vicar: watching his diminishing congregation and knowing he'll never turn the rot around. I suppose, in that situation you'd try anything to get some attention. Maybe, he's jealous of Fr Rod Bower of Gosford Anglican Church whose noticeboard attracts so much attention. If so, he's on the wrong track.
