Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
From the Reverend Kate Bottley:聽

They say life is full of new experiences and you鈥檙e never too old to learn, which is why, despite things being the way they are, last week, thanks to some filming for Songs of Praise, I found myself having my first ever tambourine lesson. No, I didn鈥檛 know you could have lessons either. I thought you just picked 鈥榚m up and shook 鈥榚m but apparently not. My teacher was the lovely Xena, tambourine warrior princess and a Salvation Army tambourine expert. To give them their proper title, timbrels are a serious business in the Sally Army, so much so that there are timbrel squads, who practice formation playing for hours and put on complicated co-ordinated displays, sort of tambourine ninjas for Jesus.聽聽

Like I say, 鈥榳ho knew?鈥� Xena recently started her own tambourine group, with a difference, the difference being she prizes willingness to join in over everything, including rhythm. Xena welcomes all, if you鈥檙e can鈥檛 stand, she鈥檒l get you a chair, too short to see, she鈥檒l get you a box to stand on, young, old, all faiths and none, if you鈥檙e in the vicinity when Xena is shaking her thang, she鈥檒l put a tambourine in your hand and tell you to just do your best. Unsurprisingly, I loved it and her. The bible has much to say about the need to find a place for everyone, the book of Leviticus says, 鈥榶ou shall welcome the stranger who rests with you and treat them the same as the native, love them as one of your own.鈥櫬�

Reminding me The Kingdom of God is a place of radical welcome, where a skills audit isn鈥檛 needed and love determines someone鈥檚 worth, and while of course there鈥檚 a place for those who excel, Xena鈥檚 tambourine gang was a full of generous welcome even for a clueless stranger like me. As the music started I banged away the best I could, and while I don鈥檛 think I鈥檒l ever make it into the Sally Army鈥檚 elite tambourine team, I don鈥檛 think I did a bad job. 鈥楧id I do ok, Xena?鈥� I asked, 鈥榊ou鈥檙e smiling, so I鈥檇 say you did fine.鈥櫬� And I鈥檓 improving, I鈥檝e been practising in the garden with the radio on, I think the neighbours must be thrilled, I鈥檓 sure it was words of encouragement they were shouting.
