HiJack,
Meters a little hit or miss. Starts off in iambic trimeter, and often returns to that, makes forays into iambic tetrameter, but also dips into the occasional non-meter. I think more consistency would energize the poem better. I see the juxtaposition of the ethereal and the corporal. I think this is suppose to point to the sterile word as opposed to the living, fleshy word. Certainly such is a division in Christian religious history and has been so since the First Council of Nicaea. And so the non-corporal Christ makes sense of the Anglican Ghost idea, or at least that is how this presents itself to me.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
