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:
-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!
jamie,
I have been trying to find a trailer for "Son of Man". I wonder if this movie will get the same play "The Passion" received over here. What do you think? Will the Evangelical subculture rally around this movie about Christ?
Anthony,
Sadly, while "Son of Man" might arguably be a more relevant telling of the Passion for our time and culture, it will invariably not receive a fraction of the attention it likely deserves.
Having not seen it, I am speculating as to its quality. However, if it is what it claims to be, I believe we should be paying a great deal more attention to it.
Peace,
Jamie
