Yeah, yeah, I know, we haven’t blogged in forever, or at least for a month and a half. And right now I’m only throwing a bone or two. Don’t give up on us! We’ll be writing a lot more, and a lot more often.
First, our friend John Dehlin pointed us to this wonderful interview on KUER in Salt Lake City about a new film called “For the Bible Tells Me So.” The film was shown at the Sundance Film Festival last week. If you get a chance, listen to the KUER interview, and hang in there to the end, because there’s a call from Alicia in Sandy, Utah, talking about her family’s love for her lesbian sister, and the sister’s love for the rest of the family. Alicia’s words were so beautiful and loving that I got all choked up, and so hopeful for the world.
Second, I was reading a blog by Rachel Barenblatt called “The Velveteen Rabbi,” one of my favorite blogs. Rachel writes about a comic called “The G@d Interviews.” I wound up buying the online version of the book. It straddles a line between reverence and irreverence, allowing it to be loving and funny and insightful. Maybe not perfect, but it’ll give you something good to think about.
