Emerging?

Is the institution of the church

to become a dead chrysalis

bound for eternity

in the desiccated husk of the past?

 

New life always needs a breaking out,

a cracking of past structures,

that the butterfly of resurrection

can emerge into the sunshine.

 

A repeating process,

centuries old;

new growth more beautiful,

more inspiring,

with each emergence.

May we be brave enough

To let the Spirit go where it will.
