David,

 

I think your suggestion is great!  We often think of our songs and singing
only in relationship to our corporate and individual spirits, but I believe
you and Dixie are right in opening up this form of "formation".   I could
see some great new songs, posted on UTube that could reach a whole new level
of Those Who Care.  It will take some careful work, but it's one of the best
ideas of "getting our wisdom into history" that I've heard.  Let's go for
it!

 

G&P,

 

Jack

Thanks very much Jack for the Contradictions file. Dixie Jennings-Teats is
suggesting that we do some Pentecost Hymn-Writing. I suppose it could either
be a workshop or simply a public request with a deadline for posting.

 

I was fascinated by the posting that Herman gave earlier this week. I was
also fascinated by the brillaince with which Jaime writes as he recalled
John's life work. Perhaps we could do some hymn-writing.

 

Its not enough to present a new world-view in the sermons if the hymnody
parrots the indiscriminate Sunday School amalgamation of Mark, Matthew, and
Luke echoing a 2-story universe.

 

And what's more, we could take Jack's analysis and do some
Bob-Dylan/Pete-Seeger-style song writing. That would be one more way for the
issues get off the page of contradictions into the mainstream media!!

 

In my brooding I've listed issues that could be topics for songs (attached).
Is there anyone interested in joining the effort?

 

David
