VC in the Press
Oh, and there’s this link for the Slow Food Movement
Wow, that’s a lot of links. Google’s “search current site” feature is really cool. I read/skimmed all of them, but I won’t attempt to comment on all. Today was the second day of the Jesus Film Fest. Watched Last Temptation and Jesus of Montreal for the first time today. Both good. I really liked Jesus of Montreal. In reflecting on all the Jesuses that I’ve encountered over the last two days I have to say that what strikes me most is how Jesus (all of them) is a leveler and lover. He is an equalizer. Beyond that my mind is mush after 2 days of TV watching and overloaded with Jesus narratives. I did see 2 naked Jesus today.
Oh, back to VC history. There is something about the history – the collective story of VC, that resonates with me. I’m not trying to sound mystical or whatever, but its story as a community is somewhat similar to the my story as a person. A story where Church of the Saviour, Henri Nouwen, St. Patrick, and Lectio Divina are discoveries along the way. These were not the things that I grew up with, rather I grew into them or they grew into me. I think that is part of the reason I feel so “at home” with VC. Despite not quite knowing where or how I’ll fit or what my role is here yet – I can resonate with the vision, the direction that VC is going.
And the road goes ever on….
