The Widening Gyre

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.
