by Stephen Eric Smyth

We’ve always done it this way.

Out there, there is an issue
that really touches on our understanding
of our self, our identity, that which makes us special.
It is beyond our familiar,
appearing outwith our treasured history.

Stephen Eric Smyth is retired. He has wide experience in religious life, education and ecumenism.
