Art and the Sacred in the Unexpected

by p.w.eubanks 2 Comments on Art and the Sacred in the Unexpected

Most every concert I’ve ever been to, when the main act starts, the crowd goes wild. Everyone paid for it, everyone anticipated it, everyone is glad it’s finally here. Even when the music was slower, there was always something about that first note that sends the crowd over the edge. There’s one notable exception in […]

There’s something monstrous and all-encompassing about New York City, as though the longer you’re there, your memory of the way the world works elsewhere is slowly cached until it fades into oblivion.

What I Believe

by p.w.eubanks 1 Comment on What I Believe

I spent most of my life calling myself a Christian. I worked at Christian camps and in a  church setting. I earned a Master’s degree from a well-respected seminary. I came close to being an ordained elder and full-fledged member of the Christian clergy. Today, I’m not sure I could consider myself “Christian” in any […]
