Doing Church
Church is usually a noun
for a sanctuary becoming place
But, both church and sanctuary
are scripturally more about revolutionary verbs.
Countering capital-consumer culture
Churching
giving and receiving healthy cooperatively-owned sanctuary
are what good news faith communities do
to earn a reputation
for wealth of love,
gratitude for more hope-filled futures
together,
more than autonomously apart.
Synergetically giving and receiving sanctuary
cannot be done with both integrity
and contempt,
And can be optimized with both gratitude for error
and terrifying opportunities
to pay forward hopeful compassion,
a democratic energy co-investment
critically cross-seeking immediate through long-term
WinWin polypathic wealthing outcomes.
Recent choices of a good health sanctuary movement
look back to November of 2016 in the U.S.
and to RightWing fear-mongering plutocratic contests
throughout Earth's non-violent health-sanctuaries,
glowing inclusive standards of liberal ultra-violet integrity
to love each Other,
healthy and not so much
just yet.
Health care exercises active compassion
Which could not include
turning a nakedly competing corporate emperor
into the Nakedly Competing International Emperor
presiding over entitled epi-ego-idolatry monopoly centers
conservatively loathing liberal sanctuary movements,
villages,
communities,
extended loving families
out embracing global nature/spirits.
Compassion for Naked Emperors
and for our own competing anti-sanctuary ways
invites each green therapeutic vocational call
to re-invest
re-imagine
re-hope for gratefully resilient sanctuary becoming
doing what we still can
integrating active resonant economic hope
with therapeutic ecological purpose
meaning
polypathic ethology
sacred secularity
systematic WinWin theology
of liberating
healthy
resilient
integral love churching
growing greener sanctuary grace.
