Come to the Table



In politics and economics,
as is also the case elsewhere,
the ultimate God-question
is not just  “What do you believe?”
but “Why do you believe it
and what difference will
your believing it make in the world?”

Reluctance and Anger,
twin sisters of Denial,
do their best to evade
answers that weave fabric of community
into conversation of power, resource control.

Eucharist is creation’s blueprint,
modeling God’s gracious invitation
through which no one
is denied access to the table.
“Gifts of God for the people of God!”
