Reviews by Gordon Atkinson - Real Live Preacher
Real Live
Preacher
is featuring
a piece by
Sarah Bickle,
a woman from
Dallas who
writes about
the things
people have
said to try
to comfort
her and her
husband
while their
son is
dying.
Rev. Nancy
Fitz of
Pastor's
Post
writes a
piece about
a foggy
road, a car
full of girl
scouts, and
the
ascension of
Christ.
The Painted
Prayerbook
- Jan
Richardson
offers
thoughts
about
Ascension
Sunday and a
couple of
links to
some
fascinating
medieval
art.
Apparently
it was all
the vogue to
draw the
ascension
with Jesus
elevating
into the
air, only
his toes
showing.
I've always
thought that
must have
been a sad
moment, such
a profound
change in
their
community.
Jan reflects
on the
sorrow and
new joy of
finding new
community.
Jason
Byassee
writes about
a prison
visit on the
weekend at
Theolog.
I've been
visiting at
a prison
before. I
remember the
quarters.
It's a
pretty big
thrill for
the inmate
to have
someone buy
snacks and
food from
the machine.
If you visit
someone, do
not forget
your
quarters.

I-YOUniverse - John Hamilton does a lot of writing about Martin Buber's I and Thou. He spins Buber, Anabaptists, and his own experience with loss into the question, "Who is Jesus and where is he to be found?"
Don't Eat Alone - Milton Brasher-Cunningham, our chef theologian got himself into a tricky spot the other night. The potatoes were not cooked, and the lamb wasn't ready. At the end of the night and in the following days, he thinks about what grace means.
Milton is such a gentle and careful thinker and writer. Seeing our theology ooze out in his sauces and crackle in his pans is a real delight. Don't miss this one.
Peculiar Preacher - Pastor Brett Younger finally made it to that Springsteen concert. 33 years late. To his surprise, he found abundant grace and grace-full people.
