Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.

Good stuff indeed.
What a lovely and courageous man.
If everyone in every church who finds they are same-sex attracted could
be as open and honest it would radically change the culture in our churches –
and also our attitudes not only in response to people who take Sam’s position but to those
who wish in the future to commit to same-sex marriage.
