find your own path

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 8:26 pm By David Hayward

I remember the earliest times I dared to express my own spiritual values and hinted that I was going to break out to find my own path. There were expressions of confusion, dismay, concern and even alarm. But I would do it all over again. Which is exactly why I’ve started my other site, davidhayward.ca… so that others in that position can find companionship and share their story, hear others’, and find resources for their journey. The site is doing... Read more

for my online friend Darin Hufford

Last updated on: August 20, 2012 at 7:46 am By David Hayward

Many people tell me that online relationships are shallow, superficial, and even false. Maybe at first I might have agreed. Now I flatly disagree. I have made some incredible friends online, some strong connections, and even life-long companions. Online relationships are real relationships. One man that I check in on every once in a while because I appreciate his sane voice in the madness of religion is Darin Hufford. Darin is very sick. The last I heard is that his... Read more

tribute to Pussy Riot

Last updated on: August 19, 2012 at 2:32 pm By David Hayward

I was invited to contribute some of my art to the Free Pussy Riot cause by a group working to free the three women of Pussy Riot who are imprisoned. I am more than pleased to help. I have a lot of respect for Pussy Riot, a punk band made up of several women who stormed a famous Russian Orthodox cathedral and sang a prayer to Mother Mary to please remove Putin from power. Their prayer song lasted around 30... Read more

Pussy Riot conviction

Last updated on: August 18, 2012 at 5:51 pm By David Hayward

So three members of the Russian feminist band Pussy Riot have been convicted to two years in prison for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred”. They got up in the front of a Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Moscow and played one of their songs… a prayer to Mother Mary to get rid of Putin. Their stint on stage lasted about 41 seconds when they were taken away by security. They were protesting not only Putin but the Orthodox Church’s unquestioning and... Read more

She is liberated. She will rise! Purchase the original painting or buy a print. Join a site dedicated to providing a safe place for sharing and learning our spiritual paths.

I’m giving away this fine art print of Sophia “Shelter” (purchase the original drawing or buy a print). I’m shamelessly promoting my new partner site davidhayward.ca because that’s exactly what that site is: a shelter!

There are some really cool conversations happening there in a safe environment, and it’s providing resources for our spiritual journeys. For... Read more

Last updated on: August 16, 2012 at 5:42 am By David Hayward

This cartoon is based on the popular and much over-played song by Gotye. You know the one. Thanks to my friend William Lehman for the idea. Is this true for you? Purchase the original drawing, or buy a print of the cartoon. ***(Have you checked out davidhayward.ca yet?)*** Read more

nakedpastor interviewed by Recovering Agnostic

Last updated on: August 15, 2012 at 5:30 pm By David Hayward

Hi everyone! I just wanted to share an interview the Recovering Agnostic did with me. You can read it HERE. Here’s a quote: Despite that belief, it seems that the church often fails to work in the way you describe. What do you think it would look like if the church was doing things right? I don’t have a manifesto of a working church. As soon as you define what churches “should” be, you form a pattern of expectation which... Read more

take your soul

Last updated on: August 15, 2012 at 8:07 am By David Hayward

While I was drawing this cartoon, I was listening to “Elysium”, the theme song from the film Gladiator. Now there was a man who, even though they took everything else, didn’t let them take his soul. Even though Jesus didn’t say these words, I think they are heard. (I’m still inviting new members to join my more intimate site, davidhayward. Some amazing stories, as well as resources for spiritual transition!) Purchase the original drawing, or purchase a print of this... Read more
