Arctic

Recent bbc2 series, Arctic with Bruce Parry. High esteem for those with a close connection to nature and who treat it with respect. The fascination of travelling with him into a remote Russian village deep in the heart of the Boreal forest. The man who found the forest to be a friend, which helped him overcome past trauma. Northern lights. How does THIS connect with Christianity? How in the light of this kind of beauty and exploration can the faith be understood and appreciated?

Ever seen a polar bear shake a wide eyed seal cub out of its skin? What does this say about the nature of faith?

"that "god" is a little more "brutal" and "demanding" than is "commonly" "percieved" - apologies for the inverted commas - but after the age of 40 - i intend to put everything in "inverted commas""...
