Paul’s epistle to the church at Corinth contains a very moving passage: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became an adult, I put an end to childish ways. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.” Delivered on the Last Sunday After the Epiphany at Ascension Episcopal Church, Hinton, West Virginia, on February 18, 2007.
