A Visit To The Wall That Heals


This spring I paid a visit to The Wall That Heals, a traveling three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

Being a Vietnam era Conscientious Objector I have always felt drawn to see the Memorial in person. Even though I don’t personally know any of those whose names are engraved on the wall, I have always felt a deep need to acknowledge those 58,000 fallen or missing men and women who served in Vietnam.

Silence, awe, reverence, pain, gratitude, loss, emptiness, speechlessness…

I don’t know how to explain it, I not only experienced all of those feelings, but I also felt a sense of healing connection to those who served in the war that I fought to end.

Although I am against war I respect and support our men and women in uniform.

For more info about The Wall That Heals visit Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.

"Hippie Christian Manifesto"


Here is a video from 2009 of Shane Claiborne reading the Sermon on the Mount. For many years now I have been calling Jesus' Sermon on the Mount the "Hippie Christian Manifesto". The Sermon on the Mount is found in Matthew's Gospel chapters five through seven.

The inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s. On the first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass which was a mix of traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A live band would play popular rock music which couldn’t necessarily be called “Christian” but contained spiritual phrases and references to God or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s there was an explosion of these songs coming out of the "secular" music industry way before there was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The Gospel According To Billboard's Top 10".
