The full meal deal...

The great challenge today is to convert the sacred holier than now bread into real bread; the theological jargon of peace into political and social peace; the worship of the out there, up there, somewhere cosmic ruler and judge into reverence for humanity, the exclusive one way, our way community into an authentic all-inclusive human fellowship. It is risky to celebrate the Eucharist, the radical scandalous Jesus meal of love. We may have to leave it unfinished, having gone first to give back to the poor, the oppressed, the marginalized, the other...what belongs to them.
