St Augustine's, Dumbarton - Scottish Episcopal Church

Fr Heron alerts us to the fact that Noted New Testament Scholar Fr John Fenton has sadly just died. Former Principal of St Chad’s College, Durham, he once wrote: What the Church will need as its priests is men and women who know that the important and obvious thing about God is that he is silent. He does not speak. He does not grunt, or shuffle his feet, or cough, or do anything to assure us he is there. What the Church needs is people who believe in shutting up; that God is not a talking God; that we do not have the word of God, we have the silence of God.
