Paean to Personhood
Cyrus Johnson

What is it that destroys the one Body?

Abortion is a revocation of personhood, physically.
Slander is a revocation of personhood, socially.
Error is a revocation of personhood, factually.
Curse or malediction, is a revocation of personhood, spiritually.
Sin is a revocation of personhood, naturally.

And what is it that builds up the one Body?

Birth is an affirmation of personhood, physically.
Kindness is an affirmation of personhood, socially.
The Church is an affirmation of personhood, religiously.
Truth is thus an affirmation of personhood, factually.
Prayer or a benediction is an affirmation of personhood, spiritually.
Virtue is an affirmation of personhood, naturally.

In heart and mind and act do we each and all build personhood and the Body or diminish it?
