- Notes
- "In mid-August [2010], I attended the first ever Canadian Lutheran Anglican Youth (CLAY) gathering in London, Ont." "Most of the 1,000 young people were Lutherans. .... About 100 of the participants were Anglican. That reflects the deep desire of our churches to continue growing together in full communion. Through drama, music and teaching based on several of the parables of Jesus, we were challenged to think about how 'hands on' God is in the world". "I have a vivid memory of some 2,000 hands in the air waving to the songs of this gathering. One of the songs, written by Jason Gray and Jason Ingram, was entitled 'Fade with Our Voices'. It explores the relationship between our worship and our witness in the world. The chorus reads, 'Let our worship have hands/ Let it have feet/ Let it stand tall in the face of injustice/ Let our worship bow down/ Let it run deep/ It's more than a song/ And it won't fade with our voices'. That's good theology for the dismissal of the eucharist. Hands lifted on high become hands reaching out to help and heal the world. Beautiful song becomes loving service in the name of Christ whose body we are".
