Surely there can be no ‘yeah but, no but, yeah’ if we dare to proclaim that we are Open to God, Open to All?  After all isn’t the only response God makes to us ‘Yes and Amen’ ? (2 Cor.1v19-21).  Can we offer any less?  Can we, dare we, bear all this calumny and abuse and remain un-defended?  Not biting back, refusing to turn away those who abuse us and others, and instead learn only to love and then love again?
