From “The Dream”
by Wesley Fresndorff,
the late Episcopal Bishop of Nevada
and Bishop for the Navajo people.
Let us dream of a church in which
worship is lively and fun as well as reverent and holy,
and we might be moved to dance and laugh.
Let us dream of a church
with a radically renewed concept and practice of ministry
and a primitive understanding of ordained offices.
Let us dream of a church
So salty and yeasty that it really would be missed
if no longer around
where there is a wild sowing of seeds
and much rejoicing when they take root
a church so evangelical that its worship, its quality of caring,
its eagerness to reach out to those in need cannot be contained.
