Walking in an Episcopal Wonderland

My friend, the Underground Pewster, is taking some well deserved R+R this week and asked me to fill in. Inspired by UGP's last post on the responses of Episcopal bishops to the recent actions by the Anglican Primates, I present to you the following ditty best sung in barbershop style to the tune of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland".

Time out bells ring
Are you listening
In the pews
Folks are sitting
Another low Sunday,
We're happy this way
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland

Gone away, is the old Word
Here to stay, is the new Word
He/She/It sings an inclusive love song,
As we go along
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland

In the pulpit we can build a strawman
And pretend that he's a Primate brown.
He'll say Bill and Bob aren't married
And we'll say, "No Man!"
So our job is to get him turned around.

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the pyre
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland

Time out bells ring
Are you listening
In the pews
Folks are sitting
Another low Sunday,
We're happy this way
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland

Gone away, is the old Word
Here to stay, is the new Word
He/She/It sings an inclusive love song,
As we go along
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland

In the pulpit we can build a strawman
And pretend that he's a Primate clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Strawman
Until the hateful bloggers knock him down

When we misbehave
We're excited
Though our Presiding Bishop's uninvited
To frolic and play, in meeting the Anglican way
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland,
Walking in an Episcopal wonderland
