My head is a tangle of ideas this morning,
so let me set about trying to untangle them for you.
Thread One: Dr. Emidio Campi is convinced that “the
Christian message of salvation becomes futile unless its implications are
extended throughout the whole of human life, into political, social and international structures.”
Thread Two: John Calvin’s view of the Church,
which provoked the aforementioned rather ecumenical outburst.
Thread Three: Psalm 80, an Asaphian
meditation on the restoration of Israel.
Whew! How would you like a bowl of that for
breakfast?
