There are few credibly irenic voices in the Episcopal online world. Tobias Haller’s is one. Read his poem for the week of Christian Unity. You’ll feel better and sleep easier.
It begins:
Beloved sisters and brothers, let me tell you a mystery.
Nothing will be lost. All will be restored.
In the economy of salvation, nothing goes to waste.
Our God is not a God of acceptable losses.
Nothing God has made deserves God’s hatred.
Everything that is was created in love.
Each atom, every blade of grass,
and most of all each human soul,
reposes in the assurance of divine, unalterable love.
Nothing will be lost. All will be restored.
