Rev. Anne Dunlap takes on "Trinity Sunday" and questions why we celebrate this doctrine, meditating on the words of Dr. Vincent Harding: "Love trumps doctrine, every time."

"What I am saying is,

I am not interested in celebrating

A doctrine thrust at me

On the point of Constantine’s sword...

...I’m thinking now about how

Every time someone is baptized,

We inscribe them with doctrines

About what power is

What maleness is

What whiteness is

We re-inscribe a doctrine

Of white maleness as divinity

Every time we repeat that formula."
