    An Experiment in Listening

    May I interject to say that I look forward to closely following this dialogue? My own views on this issue constitute a dialectic, and anything approaching a synthesis would be very welcome. All the best to Nick A and RiverMoonLady on this journey. Carry on!

    What music are you listening to?

    DR Netradio Got turned on to this great Danish online station a couple days ago. So far, all I've sampled are the jazz and trad channels, but they're great. I've been listening to the trad all day: DR Spillemand er farverig dansk, nordisk og irsk/skotsk folkemusik som den lyder i dag -...

    I've really been enjoying this one recently: Book Of Daniel Lyrics: Robert Hunter Music: David Freiberg Calling down the gods of gold, silver, stone and wood The mighty king of Babylon, the proud Balshazzar, stood Drinking glory to himself as though he were a god When an armless hand...

    Time Magazine Article Says Henry Viii Founded The Church Of England!

    I see--you main contention is that Henry VIII could not have founded the Church of England, because that church had existed from ancient times. In like manner, the Irish Church was founded long before the establishment of papal authority, although the same political and nationalistic...

    Why so many rules

    I'm in agreement with about everything posted here, and Paladin's point is an especially good one. Rules are a good starting-point, and the rigors of spiritual discipline are not unlike the training schedule for an athlete--necessary to acheive the result. And, let's face it, some people are...

    Time Magazine Article Says Henry Viii Founded The Church Of England!

    Although not an Anglican, I am somewhat conversant with English history. I was somewhat surprised to see a thread apparently questioning Henry VIII's role in the founding of the Church of England. The letter-writer's facts are beyond dispute, but like many writers of letters to the editor...

    Interesting coincidence! As to who is a Deadhead, the debate continues to roll on--although reasoned consensus tends toward a "hey, if you like the music, you can consider yourself a Deadhead" sort of position. Anyhow, I should think of a lyric to post--ok, another Dead song: Blues For Allah...

    Where is Christanity Headed?

    You've hit the nail on the head, my friend--I'm not sure whether that's what I expected to read or not, but thank you for those thoughts-- (I'm in a particularly receptive frame of mind right now, I think--and I'm hearing many things i need to hear--ok, carry on :) )

    Where is Christanity Headed?

    Thank you for that, path of one. That hits home to me, because I've had a hard time ever asking forgiveness from God--just one of my many failings-- I've been reading The Secret Life of God, by Rabbi David Aaron, and his message is close in spirit to what you said--God suffers through us...

    New Pope!!

    Cardinal Ratzinger, the conservative German, who many thought was too hardline to be elected, is the new pope, Benedict XVI. May God bless him, and may the prayers of people of all faiths support him, as he leads his faith's adherents into the third millenium

    The only Femmes I know is Hallowed Ground, and I think it's a masterpiece-- Hey, I clicked on your homepage--I'll second the "Here's to Jerry"!

    That album is strongly in the rock vein, and is excellent. The Waterboys over the years appear to be mainly Mike Scott and whoever fits what he wants to be playing. Room to Roam is another one of my favorites, and it's music is very traditional Irish, as is Fisherman's Blues. The newest album...
