‘Putting away all falsehood, let us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another.’ Christian speech is not just neighbourly in a soft way. It is a way of talking about all others which recognises that however different we may be in terms of culture, we are all equally valued and loved, upheld by God. With so many malign, corrupting voices in our ears all the time we need to check our influences constantly, as we train ourselves to learn to talk this way. But what a difference we each make in the world when we do.
