I was interviewed last week by Margaret Ramirez of The Chicago Tribune about the launch of our Nexus service using the U2 Eucharist. Well, its on the front page of the Sunday Tribune and it went out to 13 other papers in the Tribune family. Pretty awesome!
I find it interesting that out of all the things we discussed, she really was fascinated that I would even consider shaping a Nexus service around anything by Outkast. Thanks to Ben Williams for his comments and deconstruction of the “Hey Ya” cover last month by Ben Waddle to get me thinking that way. Strangely, I think I can see it now – “Hey Ya” and a reflection on Ecclesiastes, keeping faith when existence seems to oppose it.
So, its off to worship and the arts this morning – our guest artist is a potter – and then getting ready for tonight.
Maybe I’ll even see some of you there. Check out the details.
Needless to say, the prep work getting ready for this event has kept me busy but look for a podcast this week on the experience and the convervsations Monday night at the Nexus pub.
