Glad I could add some meter to the discussion for you. After spending last weekend processing through Belgravia behind ++Rowan and an icon of our Lady I’m not sure why I’m coming back to a school where Spong (who doesn’t even believe that bishops should have palaces and thrones) is invited to give lectures.

Still, it does mean I can go to Rennies twice a day. General Order number one is getting on my nerves.

Bishop Spong is also speaking at the University of Oregon campus Wednesday. Just FYI. Well-timed reference, Heath.

Bishop Spong is a liberal Episcopalian bishop whose take on the Bible is much more metaphorical than many of his collegues. He has been the source of much controversy for his willingness to ordain homosexuals into the priesthood.

Beautifully done. In fact, absolutely brilliant. And to think the Insurgent controversy could actually inspire genius after all.

This poem may just have been the highlight of my day. Which, of course, also doesn’t say much about my having a life… but I loved it anyway. Esp. the “fully god and man.” Just a riot. Oops?

Not only did it rhyme, but it was also in ballad meter (which was my suggestion). Additionally, the subject matter of the poem is relevant seeing how Bishop Spong is the author of this book. A medal might be nice, but -- knowing where Heath has been for many months -- a pitcher or two might be better.

That’s excellent.
