On Sunday, I will leave for a special continuing education event at the Ring Lake Ranch (near Jackson Hole, Wyoming). The event is entitled “SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY MORNING: Music and Spirituality Crossing Over.” The facilitators of the event are Don Saliers (a professor of theology and worship at Candler School of Theology) and his daughter Emily Saliers (who is one half of the popular music duo known as Indigo Girls). The event is described as a unique opportunity to explore the spiritual bridge that postmoderns have built between the music heard in the clubs on Saturday night and the music heard in the churches on Sunday morning.
I will not be taking my computer with me, but I look forward to unpacking the event with you when I return next weekend.
By the way, are any of you fans of the Indigo Girls? I have enjoyed their music for years.
The Indigo Girls group is a favorite of mine! I love their lyrics and they speak to my soul like Sweet Honey and the Rock’s early Social Justice music. Enjoy the Conference. Can’t wait to hear about it. The Indigo Girls were featured at the General Conference of United Methodist Women in Anaheim, CA. Athena loved them there, too.
OMG I love love the indigo girls. Dan and I went to a concert of theirs at Star Lake when they were there, with the Lillith Fair. Kind of a whacked out fun kind of concert. I got a screaming cool pair of Berkenstocks left there in the rain.
Be safe and come home to those that love you most!
