What is a parade of liberty and why would one march in it?

I must begin by admitting that I am a bit of a hipster. I have tried to deny it for some time, I have even tried to show overt contempt for all of hipsterdom, but I am afraid I must own up to my true identity. My name is Ben, and I am a hipster. I find that I like things which are obscure, ironic and odd. Thus the title of my blog. It comes from the first line of the fifth verse of a semi-obscure Bob Dylan song called "Abandoned Love." The lyric is: "I march in the parade of liberty/but as long as I love you I'm not free." The song, originally meant to be included on "Blood on the Tracks" (1975), was released on Dylan's boxed-set Biograph (which, incidentally, was the first boxed-set ever made). It is a beautiful poem about the author's struggle to leave a woman he still cares for in order to maintain what he believes is freedom (and thus abandon not only her love for him, but his love for her).
What does all that have to do with my blog? Not much. I love the song, but I also just love the poetry of the line and what it communicates on its own. This is perhaps where my hipsterness stops (going by popular definitions of hipster). I like things which are obscure, ironic and odd not because I want to belittle others for not knowing what I'm talking about, but because I feel the obscure, the ironic and the odd communicate truths in ways which often get past the 'normal' and make us think in ways which we wouldn't ordinarily think.
The phrase "Marching in the parade of liberty" gets me thinking about the concept of liberty in ways which I have heretofore missed. The words 'marching' and 'parade' imply movement. We often think of liberty (or, the related ideal of happiness) as static; a thing which we can get or a place that we can be. However, to the degree that Dylan's poetic genius is on to something, liberty seems to be a participation in something which is anything but static. Parades are loud, dynamic and energetic. The first thing that comes to mind is a marching band. Sharp, crisp high notes from the horns sound out over the loud booming of the bass drum, the taps of the snare drums and the low rumble of the tuba. At the same time the band moves forward, led by a troop of energetic baton-twirlers.
However, dynamic does not mean chaotic. Parades are carefully coordinated to make sure everyone knows their place and is doing the right thing at the right time. Marching bands are drilled like military troops. They learn how to coordinate the movements of their particular instruments with their own bodies and with the band as a whole. Moreover, they are led by a conductor who keeps both the music and the formation in time. Thus, liberty is not the ability to do whatever one wants. It is knowing one's task and performing it properly within the dynamic whole. Knowing where to be and what to do gives one the liberty to be in the place and do the thing which they have been equipped to do.
It seems to me that this dynamic-yet-orderly understanding of how to participate in liberty illustrates certain aspects of the Church. St. Paul says that true freedom is found only in Christ. When we are baptized, we are made members of Christ's body, the Church. Through Christ, the Church (and each of its members) participates in the Trinity. The Trinity is participation itself as it is fundamentally the dynamic relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Moreover, in our baptism, we are given the Holy Spirit. The Spirit guides us into further truth and moves us forward in our sanctification. These images imply movement and growth. The Christian is not the same yesterday as he will be tomorrow.
At the same time, the Church is ordered. Scripture (and the early Church) lays out instructions for proper Church government led by Bishops, priests and deacons. Additionally, as St. Paul points out, every member of the Church has his or her own 'gifting' which is meant to work together with the gifts of others to build up the whole Church. The Church functions best when each person performs the role for which they've been created.
To the degree that this is true, the Christian "marches in the parade of liberty" by fully participating in the dynamically ordered life of the Church. Perhaps if we were guided by this, and not by the enlightenment values of self-autonomy and 'free-choice,' our broken and bruised Church would once again join together to fill the air with praises to God Almighty.
