Our resident calligrapher in Montrose is Ken. He takes our Christmas greetings and scripts them for posting online, or as posters in our church, for a donation to missionaries our church supports.
I've been accused of using big words, which is sometimes a verisimilitude!
The four words in the message are huge words. Love, Peace, Hope, Joy.
I'm working out how to formulate a Rule of Life for 2021 based on these four big words.
By big I mean these words are expansive, multi-layered defining realities which
shape Christian convictions,
energise an ethic of transformative practices,
create durable and deeply formed virtues,
demonstrate in disposition and lifestyle Christ-like character.
A Rule of Life is a framework within which to train ourselves towards habits and disciplines of Christian practice – which means making Love, Peace, Hope, Joy the default criteria for who we are and who we are becoming.
