Dean's World: Marsh Chapel choir is way way super cool

Original post at http://revdeansworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/marsh-chapel-choir-is-way-way-super-cool.html


Boston University Marsh Chapel choir is an exceptionally skilled group of singers ... mostly music majors from BU. This summer I will be returning to Marsh Chapel to preach August 11 and 18. Hearing the choir is always a pleasure. (If you live in New England you can hear the choir sing on the Sunday morning broadcasts of the chapel service on WBUR.) However, the Marsh Chapel choir has now

Dean's World: Tourist traps … all the stuff

Original post at http://revdeansworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/tourist-traps-all-stuff.html


Fake jumping beans Ash tray in the shape of South Carolina For many years we lived in the North and my brother Nevin lived in the South. As a preacher I had more vacation time than money, so just about every summer we would travel south to mooch off of Nevin for a week or two. He was a great host.  I don’t know when the signs

Dean's World: Bishop McLee: Advocate for full inclusion

Original post at http://revdeansworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/bishop-mclee-advocate-for-full-inclusion.html


MIND is the group within the New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church working to end discrimination against LGBTQ people. (I am a big fan of MIND, by the way.) Here is part of their report from Day 2 of the annual session of the NY Conference: The day ended with Bishop McLee’s first episcopal address to the New York Annual Conference. He began by saying “I am going to be

Dean's World: The holy temple of hardware

Original post at http://revdeansworld.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-holy-temple-of-hardware.html


One of the Washington Post reporters who covered the fire that destroyed Frager's Hardware store on Capitol Hill last night is Michelle Boorstein. Michelle Boorstein I immediately recognized her name because she is the religion reporter for the Post. How appropriate, I thought, sending the religion reporter to cover the fire at Frager's.  For those of us who live in the weird old houses

Dean's World: Only men are spiritual leaders? What century is this?

Original post at http://revdeansworld.blogspot.com/2013/05/only-men-are-spiritual-leaders-what.html


 I got this announcement in an email this morning. I am stunned. I have removed the names of the sponsors, location, and speakers because I don't want to get personal.  But, OMG, what does it mean when the spiritual leaders of this city are seen as only males? What century is this?  City Father's Conference A unique opportunity will take place in DC
