E = mc2 - Einstein - hymn


God is less tangible than a neutrino

(taking a short-cut? Or faster than light?

Challenging theories, sustained suppositions).

Can we be certain that we are so right?


All our theology, all speculation

must be provisional, never a creed.

Is the best test of 'divine' revelation

how it is mending those broken, in need;


Open to challenge, to intellect, reason;

forging new concepts in culture and place;

yet in humility focusing loving,

open, accepting and channeling grace?
