New Year

In the parable of the talents, Jesus is clear that he does not want us to be wasteful with what little we have. Instead, the servant with the least amount of resources learns that he who is faithful with small things will be given more. As we confront issues of funding for artists in the twentieth century church, we have to ask whether our funding systems are simply hando...

Epiphany Is Manifestation

By: Maria Fee Epiphany can be seen as manifestation of the divine. As Christians we believe God can break into our lives in real and tangible ways.

Creating Power

Sex, money, and power—three great temptations. Yet, of the three, power may be the least discussed and the most problematic. Christians can choose to live lives of complete chastity or they may give away all their earthly possessions, but none of us can completely empty ourselves of power. Therefore, we are forced to ask the question: is there any &ld...
