Look what the Lectionary Lottery gives us for Sunday's Gospel:
Luke 12:51-53Jesus said, "Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! From now on five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three; they will be divided:
father against son
and son against father,
mother against daughter
and daughter against mother,
mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law
and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
As the rector is wont to say: My, My, My!

I've been tempted more than once to use this text in a sermon on "real" Christian family values. Haven't quite had enough nerve to do it.
I am fed up of 'Christian family values' being held up on such a high pedestal that ordinary folk don't come to church because they think they have failed even before they cross the threshold.
