[Oe List ...] THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED

[James Wiegel]

Oh, I remember that song . . .  what is the era of songs welling up in community, a good part of that song writing was, we were doing it, trying them out, singing our songs, written to our music, capturing what was going on at the time.  The experience of watching a movie, going to a bar and coming to collegium the next morning with a song that summarized the chapter in Kazantzakis we were studying 

What thrilling times . . .  more the spirit of the moment than necessarily lasting quality of the poems.

We tease about the gender pronouns, but, sometimes I wonder, was that crossing not simply one of pronouns, but one in which that whole culture was washed to the sea?

Great idea, and don't we already have a song called 
"The Pentecost Hymn"?
    LIke the sound of heaven 
with the rushing of the wind
    Came the fire a=burning and new 
life was given to men.
    The young see visioons and the 
old dream dreams
    Born of fire, filled with power 
for all men.   (a few changes needed, obviously)
 
    To the light from darkness  
and to freedom from fear,
    Building from the ashes into one 
community:
    Peter, Paul and Luther, 
Augustine and Benedict
    Born of fire, filled with power 
for all men.
There are two more verses I can send if you want 
them. They are good, but need some attention to gender! I found this in Movement 
Songs, page A-30.  I think we must have about all the songs written and 
they will belong to the Archives as soon as we stop using them.

  Songs are very 
  important. With respect to Hymn writing, I was just forwarding material on 
  John Montgomery’s website, so he deserves the credit for the hymn writing 
  idea.

  THANKS to ALL that FOREWARDED 
     
  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?
