More ‘armless stuff…

Earlier this year Lisa and I were fortunate enough to visit Rome for a few days. Full of history, wonderful architecture and a serious amount of scooters, it’s one of my favourite cities with more church buildings than you can shake a stick at (whatever that means?!). In one such church there is a statue of Christ without arms. When you ask why, you are told that it shows how God relies on us, His human partners, to do His work for Him. Without us, God has no eyes; without us, God has no ears; without us, God has no arms.

We’re often asked why we’re in Stratford and what we’re up to, put simply we’re trying to be God’s eyes, ears and arms.
