All Saints - and all sinners
November 2024
Dear friends,
In the church’s year, November 1st is called ‘All Saints Day’, and each year at this time I remember meeting the minister of a church called the ‘House for all Sinners and Saints’. Their name was chosen to make a serious point. It is not that some people are sinners, and other people are saints, but we are all both sinners and saints.
‘Sinners’ is a religious term for those who do wrong, who do evil. And all of us are less than perfect, and so we all do what we know to be wrong, and cause harm to ourselves and others.
‘Saints’ are those who are holy, who are special. And we are all saints, because we have been made in God’s image, and we all reflect something of the wonder and glory of God, and have received God’s gift of life.
People often think that those who go to church are making some claim to be ‘good enough’, or better than others. But the opposite is true. I often tell people that I go to church because I know that I’m not good enough, and I need help – I need God’s forgiveness.
So who is church for? It is for those who know themselves to be ‘sinners-and-saints’ –so it is for all of us.
Revd John Waller
