You’re welcome here…
This Sunday.
21 June.
This Sunday's Gospel is one of the hard sayings of Jesus. "I have not come to bring peace, but a sword." "Whoever loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me." On Father's Day, of all days, these are not the gentle words we came for.
C.S. Lewis understood this. When the children in Narnia ask whether Aslan, the great lion, is safe, they're told: "Safe? ... Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good."
That's the Jesus of this Sunday's reading. Not safe. Not tame. Asking everything of us, even our deepest loves, even our families. And yet, exactly the One worth trusting with all of it. The love that asks this much is the love you can stake your whole life on.
These are hard words. Come Sunday, and let's sit with them together.

A NEW CHAPTER HAS BEGUN!
We’re now meeting
SUNDAYS at 5PM
We are a young and growing international community committed to creating a caring and hospitable space to share life, grow in faith and serve our city in the name of Jesus.
We are also a diverse community with people from many nations and social backgrounds – students from Brno’s many universities, Masaryk, Mendel and VUT, international workers, families, and long-term residents too.
So, if you’re new to the city and looking for a spiritual home away from home, are Anglican or non-Anglican, are returning to church after a while or have questions and want to explore the Christian faith for the first time, you’d be welcome here.”
