At The Church's Postapostolicity

What did the mission churches do,

after the death of Paul?

What did the seven churches do,

after the death of John?---

 

with all the Apostles, and the whole five hundred, gone?

 

Despite the world's hostility

(as it was then, so, nearly, now)

Christians continues in the call

to witness and to ministry.

The Gospel did not stumble, swerve, or stall

in carnal offal, nor spoils afoul.

That early Christianity

continued in its supreme vocation

to give all people the proclamation

of Christ's Gospel and sure Salvation.

To praise His Grace, and their faith, I write poetry.
