Bono Preaches the Gospel of Social Justice at Georgetown

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

"Those people I've been talking about today -- the poor -- they're not 'those people,' they're not 'them.' They're us. They're you," Bono said toward the end of his address. "They dream as you dream. They value what you value. There is no them, only us. The American anthem is not exceptionalism, it's universalism. There is no them. Only us. Ubuntu. 'I am because we are.' There is no them. Only us." Read more

Smell. Sip. Sacrament.

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Of all the exotic aromas and experiences from my sojourn in Ethiopia, it’s the frankincense I miss most. Not the puffs of smoke emanating from a thurible swung by priest walking the center aisle or blessing a high altar. What I miss is an even more specific scent: the unmistakable mélange of frankincense and roasting coffee beans over a charcoal fire. Read more

The Fiscal Cliff: Mommas Said Knock You Out

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Under sequestration, the U.S. foreign aid that has made such a tremendous difference in Ethiopia and in the lives of countless millions of desperately poor Africans (and others) is in grave jeopardy. Saving ourselves from careening off the fiscal cliff by throwing the poorest of the poor over first is simply not a moral option. Read more

CH-CH-CH-CH CHANGES: News from God Girl

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

Being Vasco's mother is the single most important thing to me in the world. It is my heart's work. Writing is my calling and vocation, but mothering goes beyond either of those things. Unfortunately, my position at Sojourners has taken me away from Vasco -- both physically when I travel to the DC offices and in other ways as well. When I'm home in the SoJoWest offices (i.e. my guest room downstairs) I'm still not really here. Read more

GODSTUFF: God Girl and Eugene Peterson on Navigating Change

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

“There’s an elusive quality to life itself and if we try to hard, we miss it,” Peterson said. I think I’m starting to grasp that. I’m not all the way there yet, but the fog is lifting a bit and I’m beginning to see lights on the road. “Forty is kind of a benchmark,” Peterson told me. “You think, the things that you thought you were going to be doing when you were 20, you’re not. And so...what do I do now? Try another spouse? Try another body? Get another job? There’s something about entering into where you are and getting comfortable with that." Read more

Ethiopia: How Foreign Aid Has Helped a Generation

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

LALIBELA, Ethiopia -- You know the images you have in your mind of Ethiopia from 27 years ago? The ones from the nightly news reports on TV about the famine in the Horn of Africa as the death toll mounted and horror stories grew more unfathomable by the day. I am happy to report that the Ethiopia of 2012 is not the Ethiopia of 1985. Read more

What Americans Think About U.S. Foreign Aid Might Surprise You

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

It might come as a surprise to learn that less than one percent of the U.S. budget is spent on foreign assistance. It might even be shocking to discover that, despite this relatively small amount, these funds are literally saving millions of lives and improving the lives of many more millions of people.

Ethiopian Orthodoxy, Tewahedo, and ‘Being Made One’

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

We finally returned to the boats, where the rest of our group was waiting patiently, and on our journey back to Bahir Dar, I began thinking about pilgrimage and how, perhaps, what you believe (or don't) actually doesn't matter. It's the journey itself that makes it sacred. Read more

GGNFT (Ethiopia Edition): Teddy Afro

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

God Girl’s New Favorite Thing for Oct. 12, 2012: Ethiopian Pop Star Teddy Afro ADDIS ABABA — Pretty much everywhere we’ve gone in Ethiopia this week, we’ve heard Teddy Afro’s voice. The 36-year-old Ethiopian singer whose given name is Tewodros Kassahun or ቴዎድሮስ ካሳሁን in Amharic, the national language of Ethiopia, is sometimes referred to as the “Michael Jackson of Ethiopia.” But, to my ear at least, he’s more the equivalent of, say, Ethiopia’s Usher (if he were more political,...
