Last updated on: April 1, 2010 at 12:46 pm By Deborah Arca

I'm going to a foot-washing tonight. Now before you say "oooo, yuck," you should know that it's fully biblical, with long roots in the tradition. Many Christians include a foot-washing ceremony as part of their Maundy Thursday service. Indeed, one of the most radical acts Jesus performed on the night before his arrest... Read more

Sermon from Palm Sunday

Last updated on: March 31, 2010 at 12:19 pm By Deborah Arca

In case you missed church last Sunday, here's a powerful sermon from the Rev. George Anastos, Pastor of First Plymouth Congregational Church in Denver, CO. I was extremely moved by his reflections on Jesus' humble, unconventional entry into Jerusalem, especially as they were followed by a communal bringing forward of coats for the Denver Rescue Mission. As coats piled up on the piano in the middle of the narthex, higher than the last person could even reach, I experienced a kairos moment of being both in that sanctuary and also being on the road to Jerusalem with Jesus, throwing down my coat before him.

Life After Death?: Virtual Resurrection

Last updated on: March 30, 2010 at 12:08 pm By J. Ryan Parker

Nearly every episode of the five seasons of Battlestar Galactica offered fodder for theological, moral, or ethical discussion, while also providing an action-packed, engaging narrative. Building on the success of this series, the creators developed a prequel series, Caprica, which takes place on the titular planet and focuses on the Adama and Graystone families, both of whom suffer a devastating tragedy in the first episode.

Inter-religious friendship

Last updated on: March 23, 2010 at 5:28 pm By Deborah Arca

One of my favorite responses from the many I appreciated from my interview with Brian McLaren was this one regarding inter-faith dialogue: "Central to my vision of a new kind of Christianity is the realization that my primary call to my neighbor of another religion is to love him or her as myself. Not terribly radical, I know, but surprisingly rare! This is especially important at our moment in history, it seems to me, because Jesus called us to be peacemakers, and God knows we need more peacemakers across religious boundaries. Read more
