Funny Freudian Slip

Our leader during Morning Prayer was reading the collect of the day... the Ember Day II collect... and hit a bit of snag on this one part:

O God, you led your holy apostles to ordain ministers in every
place: Grant that your Church, under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, may choose suitable persons for the ministry of Word
and Sacrament, and may uphold them in their work for the
extinction....extension of your kingdom..

Several of us got a chuckle out of the idea that those being brought in as shepherds within the institution of the Church would be working for the "extinction" of the kingdom! Let's hope that's not the case! :)

    Maybe several 'shepherds' have also misread that word and are doing their best toward the 'extinction' of the kingdom.

    I hope that the shepherds of the flock will continue to work hard and not become extinct but be the extension of the word.
