Bishops rarely interest me beyond a sigh at their latest snipe at women or #LGBT. Or even worse, their grudging small concessions.
But #PaulColton was different. As #ChurchOfIreland Bishop of #Cork, Cloyne & Ross, Paul was an unequivocal supporter of gay rights. In 2003, he called for the church to ask for forgiveness of #gay people: https://www.churchofireland.org/news/1099/gay-debate-churchs-bluff-is

This hymn is inspired by Psalm 141, the Church’s ancient evening prayer: “Let my prayer rise before you like incense.” Set in the landscape of Clonmacnoise, it joins the psalmist’s cry to the Shannon’s air and the long vigil of those who prayed on these stones before us. As night gathers, it asks Christ to guard our words, steady our steps, and keep us faithful until the coming of the dawn.
