The contents spelled out looked weighty...
Rev Kara from Samoa was first to stride to the table, flexing his muscles. 'Samoa has the answer to all this - we can deal with it, just watch!
He tried to lift the box. Impossible.
Fr Anthony from Vanuatu came to gloat. 'Ah - Melanesia has the solutions - leave it to us!
There was no shifting it.
Rev Geraldine, full of youthful exuberance and Rotuman passion took her turn. 'You need youth on your side. We've got the answer for everything!'
She strained to shift it, but failed.
Deaconess Vere was hot on her heels. 'What's going on here? You need the people of the Vanua - the owners of the actual land right here to provide the resources. Leave it to the might of the Methodist Church in Fiji!'
But no go.
Even the men, teaming up together, couldn't manage it on their own.
Nor the women.
But then. You've guessed it....
And we were duly reminded: because ecumenical communities and even their leaders can forget...
Thanks to our Student Body Executive for Chapel beautifully done this morning.
