When I read this piece, I don’t know what God is. But the search keeps me grounded and feeling alive, by Karen Rinaldi in The Guardian recently it spoke to me sufficiently that I posted a link on our parish Facebook page.
A few days later I received an email message from our priest saying that there had been a complaint about it. The post was removed.
I responded by email, writing:
I’m sorry if someone found it a problem but I would be interested to know the basis of the complaint.
It spoke to me about the need to find time in our lives to look for-listen to-speak to God and about the graced moments in which, if we are open, we can be surprised by God’s presence.
The Guardian was an unusual place to find something like that but I think that may also say something about how and where we find God, or rather He finds us if we are receptive.
I have not had any further response about the nature of the complaint.
What do others think? Was I out of line? Is the content of the article objectionable and, if so, why?
