Although Sir John Templeton, founder of the Templeton Foundation, was never a practising scientist, he admired the scientific enterprise. He said:
"All of nature reveals something of the creator. And god is revealing himself more and more to human inquiry, not always through prophetic visions or scriptures but through the astonishingly productive research of modern scientists."

Thought for the Month...
Peter Jenner
From this month until the end of July there is a wedding at Mellor in most weeks. This is a prayer headed ‘For marriage as a sign to the world’:
Almighty God, in whom we live and move and have our being,
look graciously upon the world which you have made
and for which your Son gave his life,
and especially on all whom you have made to be one flesh in holy marriage.
May their lives together be a sign of your love to this broken world,
so that unity may overcome estrangement,
forgiveness heal guilt,
and joy overcome despair;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
(From `Common Worship: Additional Prayers for the Marriage Service')
