Signs of the Times

with contributions from Jack Burton

The Reverend Jack Burton, M. A. Vicar, Ellacombe Parish Church Torquay, Devonshire, England in a letter to his parishioners

We all feel at times the years seem to rush past too quickly, but when we stand at the beginning of a year we are filled with fresh hope for the future. I have used the word "hope" because it is a wonderful word, but one of the most misunderstood and least used in the Christian sense.

You will remember that it is the middle one of the three great virtues which are God's gifts described by St. Paul when he writes to the Corinthians. He speaks of these three: faith, hope and charity, but how little space we give to hope! I think the reason is because it has become so misused and misunderstood.
