jenk"I don’t know if the Holy Spirit will answer Martin’s prayers for clarity. In my experience, s/he rarely traffics in that arena. Indeed, chaos is her natural, preferred home – bringing something new into being as she has done since the beginning of creation when she brooded over the chaos which brought forth the earth.
I’m quite certain that I don’t know what the Holy Spirit is up to in this time and place for The Episcopal Church or the Anglican Communion. I only know that the Presiding Bishop is absolutely right:
“It is dangerous to invoke the Holy Spirit.”
And, we have.
In the words of the third verse of the hymn we sang this morning (to the tune of Abbot’s Leigh):
Loving God, who birthed creation from the nothingness of space,
kindling life where all was empty,
turning chaos into grace:
When we feel confused and fruitless, draw upon our restless night;
give us faith’s imagination
hope’s renewing, love’s delight.
Words: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (B. 1944)"
