St Andrew

[poliphilo]

 I dreamed I'd agreed to preach a sermon about St Andrew. The opening was clear in my mind. It went something like this. "How surprised the Galilean fisherman would have been if you'd told him he was destined to become the patron saint of a country far to the north of which he'd probably never heard...."

Why St Andrew- a figure for whom I have no particular feeling? Why Scotland?

Why Russia and Ukraine for St Andrew?

Dunno.

Andrew isn't someone we know a lot about. He's Peter's brother- and that's about it.....
