Since Lent and maybe longer, I have felt a gap at Crossings. We bring so much creative energy to the music of our worship but not to the retelling of the Gospel, the heart of faith. There are so many rich stories and deeply human experiences revealed in scripture and yet we read them in a monotone voice to an disengaged but polite congregation.
It bothers me almost as much as reading psalms of praise that speak of dancing or playing of tambourines. Come on people.... God didn't create us to live without expression.
I want to bring the stories and questions of faith to life with something we can grasp. Something that can get in our bones and keep us thinking. I want to connect with the essence of what scriptures reveal.
Sharing this with people around has birthed the idea of performing drama at Crossings. I'm not sure where this adventure will take us but am excited to imagine new ways to interact with powerful and ancient stories.
