The blog \u2018seeking spirit\u2019 shared this reworking of the classic Simon and Garfunkel song \u201cMrs. Robinson\u201d<\/a> and I thought that some readers (at the very least the Episcopal ones) would get a kick out of it:<\/p>\n

Bishop Robinson<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chorus:<\/p>\n

\"\"And here\u2019s to you, Bishop Robinson,<\/p>\n

Jesus loves you more than you will know.<\/p>\n

God bless you, please, Bishop Robinson.<\/p>\n

Heaven holds a place for you today,<\/p>\n

Hey, hey, hey<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to know a\u00a0bit about your sexuality<\/p>\n

We\u2019d like to help you learn be our guest.<\/p>\n

Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes,<\/p>\n

Stroll around at Lambeth, just don\u2019t force us in a mess.<\/p>\n

Go back in the hiding place where no one ever knows.<\/p>\n

Stay there in the closet with the rest.<\/p>\n

Just a little service to our Anglican affair.<\/p>\n

Most of all, please, hide it from the press.<\/p>\n

Koo-koo-ka-choo, Bishop Robinson,<\/p>\n

Jesus loves you more than you will know.<\/p>\n

God bless you, please, Bishop Robinson.<\/p>\n

Heaven holds a place for those who pray,<\/p>\n

Hey, hey, hey<\/p>\n

Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t think about your marriage or your fate.<\/p>\n

Try to laugh, and not shout about it,<\/p>\n

Now you\u2019ve got to choose<\/p>\n

Every way you look at this you lose.<\/p>\n

Where have you gone, Jesus, Lamb of God<\/p>\n

Your children turn their lonely eyes to you.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s that you say, Bishop Robinson.<\/p>\n

The Holy Spirit guides and comforts you.<\/p>\n

Woo woo woo. Woo woo woo.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
