Ethiopia: The Face of God

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

BAHIR DAR, Ethiopia — When I posted this photograph of a beautiful little Ethiopian girl holding a daisy a few days ago, my friend and fellow author Christian Piatt responded on Twitter with a four-word comment: "The Face of God." Christian's remark stopped me in my tracks ... because it's absolutely true. The Bible even tells us so. Read more

Ethiopia: Motherhood is Powerful, Precious

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

Speak out for those who cannot speak, for the rights of all the destitute. Speak out, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. ~ Proverbs 31:8-9 ADDIS ABABA — These words of King Solomon have been running through my mind since our ONE Moms delegation — 13 mothers from the United States, the United Kingdom, and France — arrived in the Ethiopian capital on Sunday. I hear these verses as a clarion call to action. As someone who strives humbly to follow the Way of Jesus and be involved in The Work that God is doing in the world, I want to respond and do what these verses command. And as a believer who also happens to be a mother (a fairly novice one, still learning the ropes, if you will), I must do. Read more

Ethiopia: God Is Even Bigger Than We Think

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

My flight's about to board for Ethiopia. I'm not looking for anything or anyone. I'm going with an open hand and heart. And I know — more than I ever could express in words — that God is even bigger than we think. Read more

UPDATE: The ’06 Bruce Cockburn “God Factor” Interview NOW WITH AUDIO

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

As for our public "interview," it too remains one of my favorite of all time. For years I've meant to take a couple of hours to transcribe it and post it so all of you could read (and hear) Bruce's thoughtful responses to my questions about his faith. I've sat down many times to do so, never finishing until tonite. So with my apologies for taking five years to share it with you, I give you the Bruce Cockburn "God Factor" interview in its entirety.

Mumford & Sons: ‘I Will Wait’

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

Whatever the true story or intentions of the band may be, "I Will Wait" was my prayer this morning when I heard the song for the first time on the radio as I drove to a cafe in the Connecticut village where I was raised to get a strong cup of coffee and a bowl of steel cut oatmeal to start my day. All three fortified my weary, twitterpated body and soul. Read more

The Age of Innocence: Wes Anderson’s ‘Moonrise Kingdom’

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

In an iconoclastic cinematic oeuvre unrivaled among filmmakers of his generation, Anderson's latest stands above the rest of his stellar films — Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tennenbaums, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Fantastic Mr. Fox and Darjeeling Limited — as an eloquent, funny, enduringly poingant homage to childhood and, moreover, to innocence. In a word, the film is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. Read more

The Paddle Out: Will the Circle Be Unbroken

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

We were not alone out there, bobbing up and down on our boards in the sea. Surely the Spirit of the Lord was in this place. And Mark was there, too, along with those who have gone before us into Eternity, in the Communion of the Saints. We were community, a salt-water church, bound together by friendship, love, and the uncommon grace of sand and surf. Read more

Theophony: A Theremin, a Yurt and a Band of Holy Fools

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

Last year, Phil Wyman, pastor of The Gathering church in Salem, Mass., trekked across the country with five adventurous friends to Burning Man — a week-long event described by its attendees as “an experiment in community, art, radical self-expression, and radical self-reliance” in the Black Rock desert of Nevada. At the 2011 Burning Man, Wyman and his merry band of “crazy friends” built an art installation called “The Pillars of the Saints” — three meditation towers constructed of wood in... Read more
