Nothing has been confirmed. Rumor has it that Moammar Gadhafi is dead. They are showing his dead body on television and calling this a “good news day.” I cannot celebrate the death of any man. My faith won’t allow me to do so. My very humanity won’t allow me to do so. This is all Read the Rest…
“(…) If anyone is in Christ, he or she is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all thing have become new.”
2 Corinthians 5:17
In concert with the moon and stars
Setting into motion the rhythm of the universe
God creates and recreates

Is never done
Behold, all things have become new
That Read the Rest…
I have recently been thinking a lot about worship; the who, what, where, when and why of it all.

As a leader how do you handle a member of your ministry who because he or she has more experience and training is disrespectful?

Referring to modern and ballet one friend said, “Studying an art form that nobody cares about and that is no longer relevant is kind of self-absorbed, Read the Rest…
I have heard it said that art is a reflection of life. If that is indeed the case, then music, painting, drawing, theater, singing, DANCING is a reflection of life. What we dance about in our churches on Sunday mornings could be a reflection of the world around us. However, if you are part of a church Read the Rest…
What is sacred dance anyway?
Perhaps sacred dance is the prophetic expression of God’s Word through movement of the human body; an embodiment of God’s Word. Perhaps the sacred dancer is a conduit for the Spirit of God, speaking through movement vocabulary both gestural and technically specific. Perhaps the sacred dancer brings life to God’s Word surrendering his or her Read the Rest…
The Chilean miners are out…all 33 of them have been rescued! Sixty nine days living in a dark, cramped space, uncertain of the next day, hour, minute, second, wondering if a spouse or child’s face will ever be seen again…Unimaginable! However, one question still remains unanswered: Who is responsible for all this? The unsafe working conditions, Read the Rest…
My heart goes out to the family of the young man, Tyler Clementi, who recently committed suicide after his homosexual lifestyle was made public. To be specific, a sexual encounter that he had with a man was posted online in its entirety. After he became aware of it he jumped into the Hudson river to Read the Rest…
In his interview with Soledad O’Brien the Imam of the New York Islamic Center was insightful, well spoken, peaceful and articulate. Nevertheless there remains the exaggerated rhetoric of those who seem to be afraid of more than one man or one mosque, but a group of people who are “other”.
I sympathize with those who lost Read the Rest…
