ASKING THE CHURCH FOR A PLACE TO LAY THEIR HEADS
The Episcopal Church in New York City turned Occupy down when they requested the use of a vacant lot for their camp....retired Bishop gets dissed by his church as they reject his plea for them to open their hearts to Occupy.....coming at the same time of Christ's birthday where they will sing songs and reenact the birth in the lonely manger.
Seems the church misses the irony.
I think the song goes something like this - Away in the manger no crib for a bed...The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The institutional church has largely become the pawn of the oligarchy. Jesus would shudder if he could see what is done (or not done) in his name these days.....
