Th...Hey there, I definitely enjoyed the dream post. The questions you raised about Gandhi & MLK are ones which crop up every time he mentions them, Gandhi especially has cropped up and I wonder what exactly the lessons he takes away from them actually are. <br /><br />As for Regina Spektor, I had not heard of her until a few years ago, but she has definitely become one of my favorites to listen to. I have not gotten a chance to see her in concert (although to be honest I don't do concerts much at all.<br /><br />I look forward to reading your posts more, as I have only recently come across your blog. I am an ecclesiastical mutt who has been finding a home in the Anglican communion through my local Episcopal church. And your self label of Christian anarcho-pacifist seems to fit right in line with where my thinking has been heading recently. Happy new year!rheimbrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15141146680438965835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072931.post-24929500325211407472010-01-01T15:45:10.527-05:002010-01-01T15:45:10.527-05:00thanks for retweeting my dream about Barack.
But ...thanks for retweeting my dream about Barack.<br /><br />But the clincher for me subscribing to your blog is this post.<br /><br />One of the best concerts I have seen in my life (the best?) is this woman on a piano at the House of Blues in San Diego.<br /><br />Heartbreakingly beautiful.The Charismanglicanhttp://www.charismanglican.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072931.post-28668061497094372632009-08-21T16:34:58.040-04:002009-08-21T16:34:58.040-04:00This is a really interesting combination of an alm...This is a really interesting combination of an almost "there are no atheists in foxholes" poem, and cultural criticism of some of the new Western church doctrines and traditions your referencing.<br /><br />I find the last line "We're all laughing with God" compelling for what Spektor might be saying about who God is, who God of culture's creation is, who God in her understanding is, and the source, relationship, and consequences of all the different perspectives.<br /><br />We've been talking at my church about the power of art and metaphor to say the things that are beyond normal "saying." I think this is kind of a good example of that for complexity of faith or at least curiosity in a context of craziness swirling around God to the point it can be hard to parse out the God of existence from the God of people's belief. Still, I at least often want something that is artistically intriguing to be laid out, I must admit.Robbnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072931.post-82819848041986802562009-06-23T11:15:22.991-04:002009-06-23T11:15:22.991-04:00for those wondering
