“Why is the Trinity important?…What does it all matter? C.S. Lewis says, “It matters more than anything else in the world. The whole dance, or drama, or pattern of this three-personal life is to be played out in each one of us: or (putting it the other way round) each one of us has got to enter that pattern, take his [or her] place in that dance. There is no other way to the happiness for which we were made.” So, how do we join this eternal dance?…In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, in God becoming human, God invites us into the dance. By taking on our humanity, God invites us to join in the dance of divinity….All we have to do is accept the invitation of the Triune God and step out onto the dance floor. Jesus sings to us in the words of the English songwriter Sydney Carter: “I danced in the morning when the world was begun. I danced in the moon, and the stars, and the sun. And I came down from heaven and I danced on the Earth. In Bethlehem I had my birth. Dance, then, wherever you may be. I am the Lord of the Dance said He. And I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be. And I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said He.” Amen. —–An excerpt from a sermon by Clayton Harrington, seminarian at the Cathedral of St. Philip
