Forward - Purpose

Although we don’t dismiss the past and its pain, or neglect to give thanks for the past and its blessings, we cannot afford to live there. And although we should receive each day as a gift, and embrace the present and learn to live in the moment, our ultimate orientation must be towards tomorrow. Our faith is a faith characterised by hope, and hope is future-facing. Life must be lived forwards.

We are starting a new series exploring this theme, and to begin with we ask the basic questions: Why should we live forwards? What are we living for?
