Stanley Hauerwas On Worship

At the end, television or any form of media will win against worship because in the end television is good at entertaining us. However, when liturgy is of the people by the people it moves us beyond ourselves and ultimately its is much more than entertainment, it is life giving.

Strange Fruit

Still the most power reminder of our fallen humanity. How easy it is to fall from grace! Let us stay vigilant against any violence on the humanity of others and of own ourselves.

Word Of God Speak

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay
The last thing I need is to be heard
But to hear what You would say

[CHORUS]
Word of God speak
Would You pour down like rain
Washing my eyes to see
Your majesty
To be still and know
That You're in this place
Please let me stay and rest
In Your holiness
Word of God speak

I'm finding myself in the midst of You
Beyond the music, beyond the noise
All that I need is to be with You
And in the quiet hear Your voice

[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]

I'm finding myself at a loss for words
And the funny thing is it's okay

The Decline of the ELCA

There is a magic number in the air. The number is ten percent, which the goal of the ELCA. This is the target number for the ELCA to change its image as not so very much white church. As many are well aware, this lack of minority presence is not merely a problem of the ELCA. All of the mainline churches have issues with minority presence. Nevertheless, out of the largest mainline churches, the ELCA has the worse minority representation particularly if one is to consider the number of membership - some 4.5 million members. These will be a difficult task particularly as the ELCA also face decline membership. The ELCA will not be saved by reaching out to minorities because the root of its decline is not merely lack of reaching out to minorities. What the ELCA needs to do is to address the real issue of their decline; and to do this they must find the issue for their decline.
