Debby and the Wrestler: Holy Thursday: April 9, 2009
I recently saw the new movie, "The Wrestler." In
the movie, Mickey Rourke stars as Randy "The
Ram"
Robinson, a professional wrestler who was very
successful and popular in the 1980s but whose
glory days are now long gone. Randy seems to be
unable to imagine a different kind of life for
himself, and so he continues to wrestle, trying
to live the kind of life he lived as a
celebrity.

Church Court: Structural Changes Require Legislation
The top court of The United Methodist Church has
ruled that the denomination's legislative body
would need to enact enabling legislation in 2012
to change the church's structure in the United
States.
The Judicial Council, in its first meeting since
the election of five new members last spring,
also remanded two cases on key issues—church
membership and same-gender marriages—back to
their respective conferences, citing an absence
of official documentation needed to decide the
cases.

Churches Help Families Left Behind after Raids
Textbook open, Mariela studies environmental
science while her three younger sisters watch TV
before bed.
In a few minutes, she will help them brush their

primary caregiver for her sisters ages 2, 4 and 7
now that their mother is gone--arrested in an

The Third Academy of Global Song
Birthed in Water, Shaped in Song
The theme of the third Academy of Global Song on
October 25-27 will be "Birthed in Water, Shaped
in Song."
Since the beginnings of the Christian church,
music has been a powerful instrument for
expression, proclamation, and transformation of
the faith. Throughout the ages, the Church has
been both shaped and characterized by what it
sings: from hymns and refrains found in the
Bible, to plainchant, the sacred polyphony of the
Middle Ages and
Renaissance, the Lutheran Chorale, the Genevan
Psalter, Victorian and gospel hymns, and
contemporary Christian music.

God’s Lavish Love
One of the themes for this week is God’s lavish
love: a constant, persistent, and inexhaustible
love that desires, searches, and joyously
celebrates our return whenever we have strayed
or
wandered away. During our times of being lost,
the knowledge that this abundant love is seeking
us and ready to welcome us back can be a great
source of comfort and hope.

Speaker Challenges Women of Color Scholars to Think 'Glocally'
The Rev. Namsoon Kang has a different take on the
popular phrase, "Think globally, act locally."
The local cannot be separated from the global
anymore, she said in a panel discussion at the
Aug. 11-13 Women of Color Consultation. What one
does at home affects what happens elsewhere, she
said. "What you do here cannot be separated from
what they do out there. Everything is so
connected."
