Put That On Your Resume: Visual Poem

by Feb 5, 2023

As a latecomer to this group, I do not know if the following resource (poem or video) has been previously shared. I suspect that it has.

For someone like me, a Pastor of the LCANZ, every time I watch it I am concurrently filled with sadness at the incompleteness of my own Church’s witness and with joy in the broader witness of Christendom throughout the world and in our sibling denominations.
It was shared to me by a colleague in ministry, a women Anglican Priest who experiences her own struggles in the varied perspectives and practices within her own denomination. I pray that it might bring more joy than sorrow for those who read or view it.

This is a visual poem, accessible here.
