ENERGY and RECONCILIATION belong together like lyrical words and music do. They belong together because they make sense and intensify each other. Lyrics without music are flat and less inspiring; music without lyrics is so much background noise.

The effective togetherness of lyrics and music, of reconciliation and energy, is the togetherness of special fit, as in “packaging”. In this case, “packaging” is in dimensions of harmonic energy (superstrings), as in the resonant bonding of energy packets, in the substantive arrangements of durable configurations that seek out and correspond by means of compatible (sensible) resonances (energy waves).

Episcopal Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori said May 20 that she does not expect up-or-down votes on the role of gays and lesbians in the church at a meeting of global Anglican leaders in England this summer.

The Lambeth Conference, a once-a-decade gathering of bishops from the 38 provinces of the worldwide Anglican Communion, will instead be an opportunity for bishops to work out differences in closed-door discussion groups, according to organizers.
