Barnabas was a mariner. He knew the sea. He knew boats and sails and riggings. He knew calm and balm. He knew storm and drenching spray. He knew deep channels and treacherous shoals in and out of all those places he and Paul travelled. He knew what it was to lift his sails and feel the winds of God and chart a new course when necessary. And in this Synod we have lifted our sails. Time and time again the image has surfaced in speeches and songs and prayers. You never know, we might just sing I Feel the Winds of God one more time before we leave.
