Greetings to you in the Name of the Lord!
Welcome to the First Church of St I.
We Crucifiers meet every Sunday to lie about Jesus.
The sermon slides off our collective self-image
and into the common cup
to be consumed with the body and blood of our Victim,
and so to pass through, changed by us,
not us by him.
Greetings to us in the Name of the Lord!
The peace of the Lord be with me.
(I'm not worried about with you.)
A smile, a handshake
-- it's all a Judas kiss.
Pieces of silver we collect
for service to our Values --
nothing special, just nothing different.
We come to First Church of St I, after all,
to be comfortable, above all.
The peace of the Lord be with me.
Visitors welcome. Join with me and mine
sometime.
