Undivided...

Undivided

And so the referendum is upon us. There has been no political event in my lifetime (including previous referenda) which has come anywhere near it in terms of engagement of thought. And words. So many words. 

In part, that is because of social media. We had social media for the last UK referendum (you remember - First Past The Post/Alternative Vote?) but it wasn't like this. I guess the Scottish referendum came close, for those north of the border. Then too feelings ran high. There was some pretty nasty stuff on Facebook, including, it has to be said, between Christians. But even then, not with quite such unpleasantness. Or a killing. 

This referendum has been especially difficult because the nature of the campaigning has led a large proportion of the public only to feel even sicker with politicians than ever before. We feel trapped - does a vote to leave imply approval of Farage and his ilk? Does a vote to remain mean we love Cameron and all he stands for?  Many of us struggle with those felt pressures. And many of us feel that the entire exercise has been a monumental mistake. What a mess!

But the biggest mess is at the personal level. I have never seen more intemperate language, nastier forms of "argument", more potential for long-term relationship stress between professing Christians. I know that the fallout after the Scottish referendum was painful; this could be far worse. 

Many of us have expressed our thoughts on Brexit pretty strongly. At times we have objected to the form as well as the content of one another's arguments. There has been some superb writing on both sides, from honest and caring Christians. There has also been aggression, sneering and derision. 

I have read from a Christian about "an almost irresistible urge to punch this man's face" - regarding something from Alastair Campbell on the day of Jo Cox' death. I have seen the desire expressed to tar and feather David Cameron and make him walk naked around London in a gay parade - this from a pastor's wife. This will not do. 

Brothers and sisters, tomorrow it will be over. And we need to be rebuilding some strained friendships. The kingdom of God is more important than the EU. Just writing that is therapeutic. Let's have it again: The kingdom of God is more important than the EU. That is true whichever way we are voting. Being a citizen of THAT kingdom trumps every earthly, political allegiance. Say it to yourself: The kingdom of God is more important than the EU. 

The most important work to be done in this messed up, divided, aching, corrupt, frightening UK is the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ. If the referendum has a net effect of damaging the unity and cooperation of those who should be working together in that bigger work, than it will have done the devil's work, whichever way it goes. Insofar as it has already led professing Christians to write and publicly share rude, offensive or aggressive posts, it had already done just that. 

With the post-modern meltdown destroying our civilisation faster than ever, there has never been a time when mutual love and cooperation between Christians is more crucial. Here is the greatest grief: we have been set at loggerheads at a time when perhaps, just perhaps, our fellow citizens may be a little more conscious than usual of their own lostness and weakness in the face of great fears. 

Say it to yourself again: The kingdom of God is more important than the EU. Then search your heart - are there brothers and sisters from whom you need to ask forgiveness? Look for the fault lines that the referendum debate has opened up in your own fellowship circles. And put things right. 

It may be worth doing it now. Before the result is in - and Now is always the official time for repentance anyway.  

Sovereignty

The word sovereignty has been used almost to death during the Brexit debate. At times it seems to be thought of almost as a commodity, as if we could regain sovereignty, or lose it, by the ton. As with other such terms, the more a word is used, the less useful it seems to be.

As sovereignty relates to Thursday's vote, the question is about national autonomy: the balance and proportion of law or regulation making by, on the one hand, the European structures and, on the other, by the UK government. Sometimes sovereignty gets muddled in people's minds with democracy, but they are two concepts: even if the EU structure were thoroughly democratic, the issue of sovereignty might still arise if people felt that non-UK citizens were having an unwarranted say in our affairs.

Involvement in any international trading organisation will involve some loss of sovereignty in this sense. In order to trade, there must be agreed standards, and the body that creates the standards must be shared. Regulation may include legislation to protect the worker; agreement on standards for products will not lead to fairness if a partner nation still has slavery legalised.

Other voluntary groupings also involve some loss of sovereignty; through NATO or the UN, we understand that British troops will sometimes fight under "foreign" commanders.

Thursday's question before us regarding sovereignty is whether the ceding of law-making to Brussels is disproportionate to the purpose of the partnership which Brussels regulates, and whether leaving the EU will significantly help. We need to sift through claims and exaggerations on both sides, and perhaps recognise that there will never be an absolute "restoration of sovereignty" so long as we trade with anyone.

Without foreclosing this particular question in the Brexit debate, I wonder if it expresses a more deep-rooted problem. Perhaps we are just not very good at "giving up" something of ourselves in order to contribute to a greater whole in any context. This seems to be the reason for breakdowns of many associations, from marriages through to treaties. Whether in marriage, a club, or a grouping of nations, I join You, You and I become We, and each of us surrenders some autonomy. Whether or not this issue should lead to a Leave or Remain vote is one thing; growing in my capacity to give up something of myself for a common good is quite another.

My Hot One Hundred

Some years ago I started collecting tunes which I couldn’t really do without. I excluded classical material, which needs its own list to itself, and came up with a few ideas. Over time I have added more. The Hot Hundred currently comprises 583 tracks. I would be interested in people’s take on my choices - especially stuff that would fit into the genres I clearly like but which I seem to have overlooked. 

Quite a large number of tracks fall into the “guilty pleasure” category - or at least it may seem odd that I like them. I do not apologise! I had enough of the “tribal” approach to music years ago - and I was never really in anybody’s tribe anyway. A good tune, good harmonies, foot-tapping rhythm - yes please.

Overall, as for anyone my age, these tunes form in some ways the soundtrack to my life. Secular-wise anyway! For many of them I could tell you where first heard, or when bought. Or why they mean so much. I hope they make you think about your soundtrack.
