The theme "The salt of the earth: mission from the margins" evokes a wonderful picture of the church receiving energy and help from those pushed to the periphery. The picture it brings to my mind though, is of a large and secure centre with a smaller, more vulnerable edge, rather like the fringe on the border of a shawl. This doesn't seem to match the reality that there are a lot more people on the margins than at the centre; in other words, the fringe is larger than the scarf. I would therefore like us to explore the same issues with a different metaphor, using the language of the little boat on the vast and restless sea. Listen while I tell you a story we all know, using my own Jamaican language, considered by many to be a marginal patois.
