God doesn’t do waste

The Archbishop of Canterbury’s New Year Message

I thought this years message from Dr Rowan Williams was very good, and thought-provoking. I especially liked the quote I’ve used, partially, for the title of this post. God doesn’t do waste, he doesn’t regard anyone as a waste of space, and not worth his time. It’s a tremendous thought, that God values so highly the whole of the created world — including you and I!

In his annual televised New Year Message the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams reflects on how a ‘disposable’ attitude to living can affect other areas of life and that ‘God does not do waste’. Filmed in Canterbury Cathedral and at a nearby recycling centre.
