Preparing for the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost, October 12

Daniel B. Clendenin at Journey with Jesus has emailed the following:

David Werther has a new music review of "Insomniaaccomplishments" by Jonathan Rundman.

My essay considers militarism as a new form of idolatry, "Aaron and the Gods of Gold."

For film I review "The Band's Visit" (excellent!), and a fine book well worth reading, "Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White" by Adam Hamilton. Hamilton argues for a "radical center" that moves beyond tired debates between liberals and conservatives.

And for poetry, John Wesley's marvelous "Covenant Prayer."

For the Sundays following October 12, Dan also provides these announcements:

10/19: Adam Hamilton of UMC Church of the Resurrection on faith and politics

10/26: Humanizing Holiness: Are Some Commandments More Important Than
Others?

11/02: Celebrating the Saints: All Saints Day
