Accompaniment

The United Reformed Church General Assembly starts tomorrow - so I have actually been reading the Book of Reports. I am, of course, biased - but one of the best bits is the report from the Synod Moderators. This Assembly's report takes the theme of 'accompaniment'. It recognises the challenge of life in today's church and that a wide variety of styles is needed in the accompanying. It recognises how vital it is that Christ accompanies us - but suggests that we, in our turn, are called to a ministry of accompanying. So much of what we do is, or should be, working alongside.
