Scripture Engagement

So, I had to mention the elephant in the room. Corona virus. It's actually being talked about a lot, so not really the elephant in the room, but anyway. One good thing that might come out of this enforced isolation, house-arrest, and stay-cation madness we're going through (not to mention the lack of loo roll), is that we are being forced how to teach online, work from home, and stay away from planes and airports. When we're over the hump of corona virus and our governments let us travel again, I wonder if we'll have learnt our lesson? We're in a global ecological crisis. It's no good just planting more trees to offset carbon emissions. We need to stop flying, and stop travelling long distances by train/car too. The more we can work out how to do things online, the better, as far as I can see. It's hard. It means extra work, and learning how to use all kinds of new computer programs, but in the end it might just pay off. In Greta Thunberg's language
