I was looking around on the web to start my thinking for a blog post relative to 9/11. Haven’t written the post yet, but here are a few resources at the National Council of Churches web site that moved me: two musical/video prayers and a liturgy. As Disciples seek to live into our identity as a movement for wholeness and our mission to be and to share the good news of Jesus Christ, may these be helpful in our meditation.

A liturgy created by Eileen Lindner:

The music of the choir – a capella, all male voices, ancient melody, tight harmony – blending in air with the pungency of incense. The walls of the cathedral lush with gold paint and icons. The worshipers standing, heads of women covered, on this Saturday afternoon in Moscow, Russia. My spirit soars with the music.
