"Consider the fig tree," Jesus says in Mark 13. As sure as the greening tree signals the coming of summer, the end of the world is both immanent and unavoidable. How do we prepare for these endings, large and small? And what hopeful note is hidden in the image of the fig tree that is also renewed in its time?…

We know that one. But as Jesus didn't actually answer the question, it's up to us to work out who is our neighbour, right now?…
