I wrote about the churches I've been attending(one in particular) awhile back. Actually, we have great, healing event taking place on Saturday, at St. Jude the Apostle R.C. Church, in Dunwoody/Sandy Springs area of Atlanta. Two families are meeting, who've lost members of their families to the war in the Middle East--one is Palestinian, the other, Israeli...<BR/>I think Spirituality is a very individual thing, but I love the "communion/Communion" (both capital "C", and small "c") at R.C. Church..Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-54327665266142385722008-04-23T11:40:00.000-04:002008-04-23T11:40:00.000-04:00I can't even deal with the abortion art project. U...I can't even deal with the abortion art project. Unless truth AND beauty is involved in the creation of art, I'm not sure of its role. I can't see beauty in the way that thing was presented so it's not art to me. Just shock.<BR/><BR/>As for the RC church: you know I go, and the reason I go is because, IF IT IS EVEN POSSIBLE to look beyond the wrongs it has done since its inception (the wars IT has fought in the name of God...) then you can see that today, it is asking all of us to take care of each other, regardless of where we come from. It is asking us to become a community of people again. It is asking us to return to sanity.<BR/><BR/>And this is not the papal decree, this is individual churches scattered around the country who understand and are mired in the daily trials of its parishioners and give them actual guidance on how to live right.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I can ever forgive/get on board with the Catholic church, especially not now that Mr. Prada Homophobe is at the helm - but there are ministers/ministries out there, and people out there who ARE doing it right. And if you can find them, you are one of the lucky ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-48303829318701780742008-04-21T00:14:00.000-04:002008-04-21T00:14:00.000-04:00I know, I know...

I did not even want to say who the artists are, because it gives publicity to these sick blankety-blanks...the dog being left to die from starvation was just abominable. I don't understand why in the world anyone would want to do that. I suppose these folks are sadistic, and they wrap themselves in the term "artist", to try to get away with these cruel acts, by claiming they are "expressing" something...<BR/>I think the gallery that allowed the dog to be tied up and left to starve, should be just as liable as the guy who they are calling the artist--both that guy and the gallery, in my opinion, should be prosecuted for cruelty to/blatant disregard for/causing the death of/ a domestic animal.Lisa Nanette Allenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263158091013515471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35493268.post-19233914353243384972008-04-20T06:43:00.000-04:002008-04-20T06:43:00.000-04:00Lisa, I can't tell you how sickened I am by this. ...Lisa, I can't tell you how sickened I am by this. It is definitely not the way I define art. The story of the dog being tied up and left to die is horrifying to an animal lover like me. I actually am in tears. It is reprehensible.
