Happy in our own skin?



I don’t think I have ever met someone who seems so happy in their own skin as does Bishop Greg. Not only does he look like Jesus he behaves like him. Perhaps I have been overly influenced by the bearded laughing Jesus from the ‘Jesus We Share’ series. During the installation of Michael Sinclair as Dean at St Paul’s Cathedral there was a particular moment when I looked up and saw Greg and Mike sharing a joke; big grins on their faces. Here is a man who is alive, who laughs, who loves, who is himself. ‘Fully human, fully alive’…..why do we find it so difficult to be happy in our own skins?
