26-29 August 2005, Prague, Czech Republic
The DNA of Jesus for the post-matrix generation
I am really bummed that i cant be in Prague next week for Connect Europe. This is one of the most exciting emerging networks in Europe and has been growing fast since kicking off at Herrnhut 3 years ago. Marc Van der Woude will have the details. I will be at Greenbelt Festival in UK instead, but I really hope Connect Europe rocks next weekend.

No longer young,
She makes her way
To the Greenbelt Festival
At Cheltenham Racecourse.
It is a sacred site;
Full of Celtic ghosts
And the sense of
Abiding loss.
In her mind
Is the hope
That she may be able
To rediscover
Something of the energy
Of spiritual fascism
Which so excited
Her internal juices
All those years ago
At university.
She is disappointed.
Plenty is happening
At Greenbelt,
But none of it has to do with
Energy,
Spiritual fascism,
Or internal fluidity.
What is happening
At Greenbelt
Is the spiritual self-congratulation
Of materialistic middle England
As it tries to remember
What all the fuss was about
In the olden days
When God existed,
And angels seemed closer,
And churchianity seemed more
Than gender posing.
To be a steward
At Greenbelt,
You have to be
A post-evangelical.
And to be
A post-evangelical,
You have to be
A card-carrying
Associate member
Of the human race
With a half-finished thesis
On “God as Dolphin Mother.”
Hi Andrew! It did rock indeed! Had the privilege to go and I’m also sharing with the Alliance folks trow. Greenbelt for you?
