... instead I'll just share some awesome links I've been hoarding.
Since Sr. Ginny Jones was again this year willing to grace us with her presence for an Earth Day homily, I have no sermon audio this week. (I didn't want to go through the whole mess of teaching her to use my phone to record herself). To get a taste of her message, check out her article on p. 26 of this SSJ publication.
A friend of mine from Yale just won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, so that's awesome. Caroline Shaw is the youngest winner, and apparently the first to win with a piece for unaccompanied voice, and it couldn't have happened to a kinder, sweeter person. See here and here for more. I've been listening to this piece almost daily since I found out about it. In fact, I think I'll turn it on now in my office.
As usual, some great suggestions from Living Lutheran, in this case about celebrating volunteers and an idea for Reconciliation Sunday, a rethinking of our traditional Lutheran Reformation Sunday celebration. Living Lutheran has new content and great links pretty much every day, and is a great way to keep up with the wider church and some of the great work going on across the ELCA and beyond.
Did you hear this little Jonathan Rundman tune about biblical interpretation? It certainly challenges some of the assumptions we make about the Bible, but ultimately does a great job of illustrating how ELCA Lutherans understand the Bible.
Oh, and if you really want to hear me talk, this video may show a sneak preview of what this coming Sunday's sermon might sound like. On October 29, 2011 I had the privilege of sharing a Christian perspective on end times at Decoding Judgment Day in the Abrahamic Faiths, an interfaith partnership of the Islamic Center of East Lansing, Congregation Shaarey Zedek, and University Lutheran Church.
