Jesus stretched and flexed and crowed,like a cockerel so glad to be alive,The joy in his voice,palpable and contagious,infecting countless otherswith resurrections of their own,little in comparison to hisbut of the same new order,calling into beinga new day,a new making.This is where it begins,He said,as he closed a circle,wide open arms enfoldingwhat had never beenout of his embrace.And as he calledwhat had never beeninto that start which is also reunionHe laid healing hands on a sick creationand saidlet’s party.
Ten years or more of Higher Education, 7 years of Ordained Ministry in the Church of England... and now I'm managing to combine both, parish priest and university chaplain. It's a wonderful life. (Oh yes it is!)
