Taken From: Romans 1:12

Illustration by Grace Ellen Schiel
When he went out on the road
and met someone, he looked
for the Spirit in them; didn’t matter
their color or nationality
their education or lack
of same;
is there a brother here
with the Holy Spirit in him,
who longs for some fellowship?
A communion of saints.

When he came together with others
to worship God, he shared his gift,
expected to receive theirs; didn’t matter
simple lives
a mature experience
in Spirit;
the church is a fellowship,
a place of mutual exchange;
the faith of each other.
A “charismata” community.
