And yet he married it………..
and then He starts again.
boy, is He patient with us.
The problem’s not with the potter’s workmanship…
I quite like the idea of a wonky church!:)
….i quite like the idea of the church keeping having to be re made
quite like the idea of it not being static and lasting forever in that form…..

You can get medication to sort that problem out…
I cant get the film Ghost out of my head now.
What you really need is someone coming along to flatten it.
As Ed said – problem not from the potter’s craftmanship
it’s how we’ve tried to modify his creation that’s the issue.
isn’t that just the church in Chesterfield with the wonky spire?
are there people too?
robb… clare married me and i’m wonky too.
Surely it’s vice-versa. Each church creates the God it wants. I’m sure we can all think of two churches where you could go into their respective services and not know they were talking about the same thing.
interesting point jf.
That’s really funny, I totally read the potter not as Jesus but as a pastor who wanted things to go a certain way and they didn’t!
“Each church creates the God it wants”, yes and no, I think we try to get our heads round what God is like, and then just don’t dare believe he’s there waiting to excite us.
after meeting with God in the desert, Moses popped back over to Egypt, to let the Israelites know God had heard their pleas and knew their struggles, they fell down and worshipped Him. under the cursing of the Egyptians, they’d not dared to hope God was bidding for their freedom.
some ancient little churches seem to sit there, convinced they have a hot line to God, celebrating century’s of people who’ve found God is the God who is open to being found
I’m not sure it’s possible to make something which isn’t circular on a potter’s wheel.
This picture actually reminded me of an inflatable church (such as the one at Greenbelt in 2003) when it is part way through deflating. There aren’t many things sadder than a half-deflated inflatable.
oh, I hate that deflated feeling
I’m not sure it’s possible to make something which isn’t circular on a potter’s wheel.
Like a bubble

That potter wants to be careful not to poke his eye out making things like that
That’s if he had any…
I like the word “wonky” almost as much as I like the word “numpty”
i like the way ‘numpty’ rhymes with ‘humpty’ and indeed ‘dumpty’…
i hate the word ‘pamphlet’. it’s the ‘mphl’ in the middle which is just so inelegant.
Where I worked the word ‘numpty’ was a rather affectionate term that people used to describe each other. In other contexts the phrase “you numpty” was seen as insulting.
I like it. But I’m a numpty……
I feel better in wonky church – it’s like I don’t have to be all perfect and that’s OK. Nothing is worse than needing to talk to God, going into a church and then someone gives me a look like a broke wind in “God’s House.” I then leave and talk to God somewhere else but I know I need the community of faithful, fallen people.
this analogy of the state of church is interesting…..
