we must consider this
he called us friends
not servants
not subservient
but friends
he leveled
the ground
spoke not from
podiums pulpits
sat with us
on hillsides
came to our houses
broke bread at
round tables
walked not in front
side by side
teaching us
to love one another
in acts of care
not of duty but
holy privilege
she
our friend
heard it got it
that radical message
of friendship
put her hand her pen
to the writing
a theology of friendship
ours to claim
justice equality respect
hope joy life
in the company of
the community of
friends
good news
good news
Christie with gratitude to Elisabeth Moltmann-Wendel, 1-31-11.
