Comment on Animals’ Meditation on Psalm 83 by Adam

Thanks, friend. Glad to know this reached you.

I agree that we haven’t paid enough attention to the suffering of animals. That awareness has a long history in Christianity, but it seems to me that it has often been marginalized.

As a Christian who struggles with the (lack of) attention Christianity has granted the suffering of animals I truly welcome this gripping meditation! God bless, and thank you.

Comment on Fiction: Eucharist by Stephanie Ford

Greetings, dear Adam! I regret not being in better touch, but I appreciate the Christmas note with photos (I love seeing your family)…and now thinking of you close to ordination. My eyes sting with teariness. I LOVE the Eucharist piece. It captures my own feeling at many an RC service, where I could not partake, and makes me think of my mentor Evelyn Underhill and the mystic-philosopher, Simone Weil, who stood at the gate you describe for years. I also see my priest-professor who was so tender and careful with sacrament.

I am now serving a progressive Baptist church in Chapel Hill, NC: Binkley Baptist C.
My role as Minister of Christian Ed (soon to be Christian “Formation”) calls different things from me, but I am beginning to think that music might become a way for me to connect with children…so am thinking about learning the guitar. I miss seminary teaching and the academy, but hopefully will have other opportunities. I have been able to put my studies into practice, though, a good antidote for my pining.

Deepmala is 8, and is going through first grade again. She tries to be my assistant at the church. Still living in the “peak of good living” — but planning to move closer to Chapel Hill this summer.

Be well, and thanks for staying in touch and for being your creative self! I want to know the date and time of your ordination to join you in the Communion of Saints there.

Very inspiring message. The singing in latin wasn’t something I’ve really seen done in a sermon before.

Hi Adam,
Funny thing I was just telling Galen what you told me that year: that one of your profs said it wouldn’t matter if you gave the students the test the day before they took it – it wouldn’t make any difference in your grade. Since I was sitting at the computer I googled you (for some reason I seldom think to google people) and found my “time to a pig” story.

Well, after 32 years at WIU I’ve decided that joke is REALLY on me and its not funny any more. Retiring in May when I will not be blogging or finding religion. Planning on watching birds more seriously – easier than lifting pigs.

Hope all is well with your (now grown) Fern and Fox.
Martha

Hey Adam,
It’s April from ESR. I just want to say that I was stand-offish about the topic of your blog and a little uncomfortable to think of doing what you did but that being said, I am glad you went and that you wrote this and that I had the opportunity to read it. You definitely stretched me and shifted my views and I look forward to continued reflection on this as I seek to offer care and often ask myself, what does that look like to those who don’t share my Christian faith? I know this will be in my mind as I continue discerning and serving…

Thank you,
April
