With Martin Luther I affirm that all people who believe in Life are called to a Holy Priesthood. The task of celebrating Life does not fall to a elite class alone. Indeed, all of the Brothers and Sisters in Humanity are called to be a priesthood. All of us are called to proclaim Gods Love, to strive for justice and to celebrate God and Life (which are one and the same).
This is not a complaint against clergy, those wonderful people who have been set aside by their community to study and prepare for the work of Priesthood. It is, instead, a reminder that the work of Spirit in our day and age belongs to all of us, regardless.
Pilgrim, Priest and Prophet is the journey we go on. We begin by wondering, seeking, quest/ioning before we take on our role of priest. If we are lucky, in our old age we may share wisdom and become prophets - wise elders who remind us of our history and the call to justice that is Spirits life blood.
