Title: Two Streams Converge #1123

Title: Two Streams Converge In the garden of faith where the scriptures lie, A river flows under the sacred sky. Protestants hold the Book so dear, "Sola Scriptura" – the path is clear. Yet a twin stream winds through Rome, Where tradition and text in harmony roam. Authority split twixt Bible and lore, Catholic waters seek the other shore. Guided by magisterium's steady hand, Traditions grow like grains of sand. Adapting words across time and tide, Where culture and doctrine side by side abide. While we cherish the Word, pure and alone, They weave the threads of the old and known. Two faiths diverge from a common start, Yet seek the same – a Godly heart. In these differences, let understanding bloom, For every flower needs its unique room. In the vast garden of our Lord's embrace, Every belief finds its space. Writtten by Steven G. Lee (May 1, 2024)
