Dear All Saints and St Marys
We are blessed that our Cathedral in Bristol is named "The Holy and Undivided Trinity". In fact "Holy Trinity" is the 7th most common title name for a Church (St Marys and All Saints top the charts coming in at 1st and 2nd!) But the added words of "and Undivided" is more unusual.
As we come to the end of our festival seasons of Easter, Ascension and Pentecost we arrive at Trinity Sunday - a day when the fullness and foundations of what Christians believe is expressed in believing God to be One and Three.....And "Undivided".
There is so much division in the world that to name something as undivided seems rather niche, perhaps even naive. And yet that word is diamond. To know that at the heart of the Christian faith is not a squabbling triplet, but a God who coexists in symphony and harmony. A place where difference does not mean division. We can know God as Creator, as Saviour and as Life giver and still know that is not in competition with each other but as equal aspects of God. I learn so much from that. There are many complex and complicated explanations that tangle us up in theology of the how does the Trinity work? - when perhaps we are asked to look beyond and to the heart of something that is quite simply beautiful and sustaining. May we celebrate that difference and undivided nature of God.
Join us for our worship this Festival Holy Trinity Sunday in the following ways - its a 5th Sunday so we join together for our morning worship at St Marys this month as we say Thank you to Charlie Blackett for having been our Ordinand in Training for 2 years.
