The Christian Politic

To Associates of CCMJ,
Click on this for a strong article considered at the Mutual Education Forum yesterday ….

Christianity Shouldn’t Be Infused With Politics—It Is a Politic 
– If you get the gist of the article’s intent you might then critique an attempt to express its stimulation in the broken text following ……..

FROM ALIEN TO CITIZEN

As resident aliens immune at once,
to the entire ‘KIN’, family of loyal earth citizens,
to the ‘G’ within , ground of all Being,
to the ‘DOMinion’ of light and energy,
by dis-respecting all creative expressions
of the KIN[G]DOM of light, of love, of God.

As resident citizens instead, follow,
personally, communally, politically,
the light and energetic word of a
universal Christ-filled ‘POLITIC
as communal life-enhancing
common good, common wealth,
in synergistic, simultaneous, variety.

As Earth Citizens become no longer aliens,
but aroused by a metanoic mindshift,
a paradigm change, to hold
in ever flowing creative-tension,
a strong love of planetary integrity,
embracing respect for every manifestation
of a universal togetherness in rich diversity.

So, thriving planetary citizenship flourishes
In non-party, singular participation,
in a Christ-energised community, or ‘POLITIC’,
boasting in co-evolutionary inter-dependent diversity,
that every witnessing person respects integrity
flowing on as distinctive diversity, heralding on earth,
the KIN[G]DOM OF GOOD GOD, no less.

A prompt response to today’s earlier note on Christian ‘POLITIC’

FROM ‘POLES AND BORDERS’
…. like geopoetics
or geocentrics
or geopolitics
or just plain geos
it geos on and on…
and echoes, echoes, ecos,
and it ecos on and on
for ecologies
and ecologies
and we dumbly
say our apologies
for our weak humanities
