MINISTER’S LETTER ‘Jacob dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.  And the Lord stood beside him and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac…’ (Genesis 28:12)   I’m sure we can all recall vivid dreams that we’ve experienced in our lives - from the scary to the downright weird and wacky!  Perhaps some of us have had dreams like Jacob; dreams which give a glimpse of God and a hint of his plans for us and the world.  Dreams are important to us.  They can inspire and encourage us on in difficult times and give us something to aim for.  Our dreams or deepest longings are the things that remain with us when all around us changes.  And yet it’s easy to write off those same dreams as merely ‘wishful thinking’ or ‘day-dreaming’.  How often do we talk with each about the dreams and hopes we have for our lives, for our Church?   In sharing our dreams and hopes with God, holding them within the knowledge that our lives are in God’s control, we find a vision to follow as a disciple of Jesus.  We only need to think of the continuing impact of one person’s dream to see this in effect  - the dream that Martin Luther King shared with the world.   It seems to me that in the society that we live in, we desperately need to hear and share our dreams and visions for God’s kingdom.  It is so easy to fall in with the assumption that the current order of our lives as we lead them now will be upheld by God forever and ever.  It is easy to go along with the current censuses of opinion that would tell us that our standards of living and the value of our houses are all that matter in the world, even to God.  Yes, these things do matter; but we need the vision to remember that life is more than these things.  We need the vision to put this into perspective, when we recognise that for millions across the world, life itself is being called into question on a daily basis.    However, for our dreams and visions to be worth anything they have to be translated into practical action.  When I was young, I dreamed of being a steam train driver - though on reflection, I’m not really sure why!  But I can’t complain now that my dreams didn’t turn out as I had hoped; I didn’t pursue them at all and there aren’t many steam trains about now!  It’s no use if we allow our hopes and dreams simply to remain in the imagination and never work them out in our lives.  Dreams need to provoke and inspire change - in us, in the world around us.  Any West Ham supporter will be tell you, the danger of idle dreams is that they remain like:  ‘pretty bubbles in the air; they fly so high then like my dreams they fade and die’. Our dreams of God’s kingdom being known in it’s fullness, of God’s love being received by all and of God’s life, justice and peace for the world will never fade away or die.  For our dreams are shared by our sisters and brothers across the world and more importantly, by God himself.   Peace, Dan
