The priest at church told a pretty great story this Easter Sunday. It was about an Anglican Bishop who had flown to London and hopped in a cab. The cabbie asked him what he was doing in town and he said he was a Bishop there for an Anglican conference. The cabbie asked him a few questions about the church and his faith and then said, "You guys are the ones having all the drama over women being in the clergy, right?" "Yes," the Bishop replied.
The cabbie just shook his head and said, "If it's true as you believe, that Jesus rose from the dead, isn't the rest really just rock and roll?"

That's pretty much it, isn't it? The petty disagreements between denominations, the drama between church members, who sits by whom in a Bible study, how big and fancy our church building is, what color of strobe light should be used during worship.....none of it matters. Jesus rose from the dead. JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. That's what matters. That's what's important. That's what we should be living our lives in light of.
The rest? Doesn't matter. Not important. That's all just rock and roll.
