20th Dec

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

I know I've used this passage before but I liked the image. Got me thinking about digital communication and what would be a contemporary equivalent. Would the angels have set up a group on facebook, arranged a flashmob or would there have been a huge increase in traffic on twitter?!

But then I guess the point is the angels went to the shepherds. Equivalents for us wouldn't be people with access to technology, probably on the edge of society. Funny then how middle class faith has become....
