ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

February 3, 2020

Prayer for the Week:

How do we not see?

How do we not recognize

the historic bias,

the prejudice born from insecurity,

the limits we have placed

upon your limitless potential,

your immeasurable creativity?

Our skewed perception is alive and well,

it is at work in and through your church

-attempting to the restrict-

-aiming to fetter-

your Spirit’s work in the world,

or at least our capacity

to perceive that work.

Wonderful and Breath-taking God,

create within each of us

the capacity to enjoy your skillfulness

-your proficiency-

at ignoring our expectations,

at disregarding our presuppositions

that seek to tell you

how you need to do your thing

in this world.

Too many people have rejected

or denied their own calling,

not because the call was empty of you,

Extravagant Spirit of Love,

but because the so-called orthodoxy

of the faith

laughed at the suggestion.

If some segment of the church

wishes to keep laughing,

let us distance ourselves as we

– all of us –

move forward together into

the amazing and inclusive future

you are creating.

We pray in the name of the one

who had no interest in boundaries

of this insecure world. Amen.
