Ordination
Like Baptism
takes time to understand
Water and Oil
Spirit and Wine
Towel and Basin
Cross and Cup
Bread and Body
Fire!
Hands ordinary
Gifts Divine
Authority released
Christ Revealed
AMen.
I wrote this poem last night in the midst of the ordination service of the Texas Annual Conference in Houston, Texas. My wife, Tiffani, had just been ordained Deacon when the inspiration came to me. Also among the ordinands were two Asbury graduates and friends, Guy Williams and Jessica Box.
