PULPIT & PEW

By Rev. MURRAY GARVIN
Grace Presbyterian, Castlegar, and
Slocan Valley Presbyterian churches
A few weeks ago. 1 watched an
episode of Thirtysomething. It is not
a show that I usually watch. I guess I
am one of those who are too old to
identify with Thirtysomething. But I

trying to make excuses for not atten-
ding worship, or something else they
feel guilty about.)

And my response to such people
is, “Good! God doesn’t want you to
be religious. God doesn’t want you
to get all wrapped up in slavish ob-
‘servance of rituals, religious
i and practices, but sim-

to see a clip
for that episode, ani intrigued me.

In this story, Elliot’s wife, Nancy,
is fighting a battle with cancer. He
loves her deeply and is most
distressed, which leads him to do
some real soul-searching. As I under-
stand it, Elliot is a very secular per-
son, a lapsed Roman Catholic, in
whose life the church has had little
place for quite some time.

In his search for answers and help,
Elliot goes back to a place which was
once meaningful for him — the
church. There he says to the priest,
Father Tierney, ‘‘I want God, it’s
religion that keeps getting in the

It is my suspicion that a great
many people today can identify with
Elliot. They want God, or at least
sense a need for God, but don’ t feel

i religion, the i:
church, to be helpful. They feel it
gets in their way.

If you are one of those people,
may I suggest that your focus, or
perhaps the church’s, may have been
on the wrong thing — the practice of
religion, rather than the person of
Jesus Christ. It is not at all surprising
that this is unsatisfying. Christianity
was never intended to be a system of
observances and practices, but a
living relationship with God through
Jesus Christ.

Frequently, I have had people say
to me, ‘I’m really not a religious
person.’’ (They usually say this when

importance of

ply to open yourself to His love in
Jesus Christ, and to respond joyfully
to it. After all, it was the ‘religious’
people who gave Jesus the most
trouble."”

Many people, like Elliot, have had
problems with the church. They feel
that instead of helping them to get
close to God, its practices, or human
weaknesses and failings, have gotten
in the way, and put them off.

When Elliot shared his feelings
with Father Tierney, his priest

replied: ‘If you want to come back,
you have to come all the way.’’ By
this I believe he was saying that if
you want to come back to God, just
going back to the religious observan-
ces won't do. You have to come all
the way back and discover the reality
of God’s love for you in Christ.

To those who feel like Elliot, I
would say, ‘‘Good, you are on-the
right track.’ The road back begins
with that first step — acknowledging
your need. The presence of God
you're looking for in your life can be
found. The church can help you find
it.

Don’t be put off by the human
weaknesses you may see in the chur-
ch, (the church is made up of people
just as human as anybody else), or
by any of its practices which you
don't find helpful. But try to look

beyond those things to the reality of
God, and His love for you, which
are surely there.

Having watched that episode of
Thirtysomething, I had to watch the
next one, and was.amazed to see
Elliot break down (in the men’s
washroom of the hospital, of all
Places) and promise to do anything
God required of him, if his wife
could just get well.

In that episode she was given a
good prognosis. It remains to be seen
how Elliot will follow through in his
search for God. Will he move for-
ward, or lapse into secular indif-
ference, now that the pressure is off?

But the story gives me hope for all
the Elliots of our real world. If you
are one of them, I would encourage
you to “‘come all the way back,
and discover God's love for you.
