Go
therefore and make disciples of all nations…
[go;
baptize, teach, remember]
in
the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
Matt
28:19-20
power
perversion Erling Shultz, June 2020
Jesus
empowered and en-tasked
toward justice living and mercy giving:
simple
instructions to build a Kingdom,
altered to ‘build it and they shall come’
so we might sit in the power inherent;
simple
instructions of go –
baptize, teach, remember;
casting aside the for what, for why, for
who
so we might focus on the authority
delivered
tis
time, once again, to self-examine our empowering;
who do we baptize, what do we teach,
and what essential have we failed to
remember?
a
trinitarian power outpouring
to transform the world
hapless seized for white dominion,
and all that is left is a specialness
illusion
(an
intrinsic hate separateness
ineptly preserving what was never theirs)
a
trinitarian power sent out
to engage and connect,
to relate and include,
humbly passed on to those on the edge,
is the divine/human communion
(dignity
raising of the other
gives rise to the dignity we already have)
our
Breath, Life, Spirit
abides, engages, enfleshes, empowers
particularly manifest in mass
mutuality
