An ordained friend of long acquaintance called me today. "Did you know that there is General Convention this summer?"
Actually, if I did make note of it, I had forgotten.
He then asked the question that haunts me: "Do you think it matters any more?"
My answer to that question scares me a little.
When the center of this gyre we call the church no longer holds, what happens? No, I know the answer. It's happening now.
