Going back to the meaning - if one interpreted "For" in the sense of "In order to achieve", could the first two lines then make sense?

I wondered, whilst sitting on the train, how the approaches to hymns argued here might fit with how the various writers would interpret Galatians (the 'neither jew nor gentile' passage). Martin Dale in the USA has recently written on this text and raises similar thoughts as represented here. (Book is called Sex and the Single Savior). Thanks anyway folks. ps do you think rain is good for theology? :) Can I just say that this debate has been great to watch develop…I have been in Aberdeen for 48 hours and only just had a chance to catch up.

Thus, for me - that dash is bi. I’m inclined to the view that the apophatic dash between feminism and queer studies works both ways.

Yes indeed the dash is a beautiful thing (or rather, a beautiful movement, not being an object but an event)! If it's good enough for Emily and Hilda - it's good enough for me. By the way, back to Victorian hymnody, it was pointed out to me that Miss Dickinson's poems were often written in the same meter as hymns. My Bible and Literature class sang 'A Fly Buzzed' to the tune of Amazing Grace and were greatly amused.
