Tell the old story with new words, sing the old song with new meaning, find a new interpretation of the old metaphor… We are comforted by our traditions even as we refuse to be bound by them.

Expressions of Christianity have been changing for two thousand years, and they will keep on changing. Change is a sign of life.
Sing a new love song; for in every moment, compassion does marvelous things: its power dissipates hate and revenge. Compassion creates contagious miracles

Wash me in the river
Dry me on the shore
Do this for me, cousin
As you did for those before
