Wrote the original version on Sunday. This is a hopefully improved edition:
In the C of E
Now a lady, a bishop can be,
For many years this has been a source of much debate,
But now it's been accomplished, was it worth the wait?
Now we can follow our vocation
Without barrier or equivocation
To pursue the Spirit's flow
Whether woman or fellow
That said, the talking is not at an end,
Some see this as a dangerous trend
For them, the notion of women's leadership —
Nothing but an ego-trip.
As for me, I think it's good
Things are moving forward as they should,
An evolving Church in an evolving world,
Helping the flag of faith to be unfurled
Time for Christians to get real
Helping the poor find their next meal
Not wagging fingers — don't do this or that
But meeting people "where they're at"
All through life there are issues
About which a side we choose
Jesus calls us to love God and one another
Treating everyone as sister or brother.
Musing's from a Christian gay man - some religious, some political, some on this and that.
