I know that there are good examples of this stuff happening in churches. But reading this article, I was just struck by how much this sort of stuff needs to be a part of our out-working of the Kingdom. Maybe I’m biased and just like the thought of something positive coming out of the Richmond Football Club (nothing has happened on the field since 1980 – so it’s gotta come from somewhere). And I was struck by Dale Weightman’s quote (one of the few players from that team that I can remember playing):
“That’s what we do, we look after our own.”
Sounds just a little bit like something another hero once said:
“By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” (John 13:35)
