We’ve swallowed enough of your idea of God. We’ve swallowed this now for 30 years, and I’m tired of it. To destroying our churches and closing churches that are viable and ready to go. Nothing, nothing you’ve done, from your witchcraft, to your anagrams, to your centering prayer, to all this Earth spirituality, to replacing holy water with sand.
