BISHOP JONATHAN'S GOD-WAGON
So Lost in Showbiz wants to know more about my 15 year old 'God-Wagon' and what constitutes a crisis.
Does the story of the Good Samaritan come to mind. It did for me one rain lashed night in the early hours when driving home and I passed stranded motorists but was unable to stop as my car was not marked and I had no supplies to assist. I realised I had to get prepared.
As a cleric I am on duty 24/7 to help those in need and not just spiritually or emotionally but practically too if I can.
And Lost in Showbiz asks what constitutes a crisis?
Well, lets give a few examples of those I have helped. A teenager in the process of being mugged by two assailants. A young Mum in tears stranded on the first lane of a dual carriageway having run out of petrol and desperately worried about the children she had to pick up from school. A motorcyclist knocked off his bike. A drunk man, lying semi conscious on a street verge who needed taking home. A homeless elderly woman on the streets who needed accomodation. A Mum with her baby stranded with a puncture on an icy day and no mobile phone. A young 8 year old lad with learning difficulties who was wandering on the street lost and needed to be taken home to his Grandparents. A couple whose car had spun off the road into a ditch.
Yes, clerics should be the fourth emergency service!
