Random Links of Interest

Inspired by Jordon & Wendy Cooper, I have decided to try fill in my quiet blog days with some links of interest that I came across in the course of the week. Here are a few that have caught my eye and interest:

-African Jesus of the Silverscreen: Being touted as the worlds first black Jesus movie, this entry at the Sundance Film Festival presents the life of Christ set in modern day Africa. Intentionally trying to bring the political realities of Jesus life into focus, the film is sure to stir a lot of interest.

-Remembering Dorothy Day: For anyone not familiar with this incredible woman, a personal hero and inspiration in my life, this is a good starting point. For further info, read the Wikipedia entry and consider “The Long Loneliness”, where Day tells her own story.

-Justice Is Reconciliation: From another life hero, Desmond Tutu explores the need for us to embrace “restorative justice”, demonstrating that justice and the ministry of reconciliation given to us by God are not at odds.

-Will Jesus Christ Please Take The Stand: Italian priest, Padre Enrico Righi, has been named in a lawsuit for making horribly fraudulent claims- That Jesus, in fact, did exist. And where did he make such a claim? The parish church bulletin. The nerve, eh?

Enjoy!
