Therefore every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.
Tired of Gregorian chant and polyphony? Wanna "get down" to some funky vibes that can really induce a rupture without the need for hermeneutics? Try this:
I am reminded of the Ampleforth monk asked about smoking. It might not be right to smoke whilst praying but would it be alright to pray whilst smoking? Presumably the same approach might be adopted to exercise. I try to say the rosary whilst cycling to work: nobody is trying to engage me in conversation so it is one of the better times. Of course it would be easy to be distracted by some of the bodies on display in this clip. Is Kum ba ya prayer? Seriously, this is unlikely to appeal to readers of this blog. But let us be careful about asserting our superiority over this performance. It might, just, help someone. We never know.
I lasted 3.9 seconds before I had to leave the room !!!! I CANNOT believe that this unbelievable display is in the Rubrics !!! Do they change their smocks to the correct liturgical colour ?
I remember being taught the Penny Catechism in primary school, then it stopped and RE seemed to solely consist of a dreary weekly rendition of the meaningless (to us) Kum Ba Ya. We alleviated the tedium by altering the words to "when I fall on my face with my knees to the rising sun ...". This gospel version shows it in a completely different light.
I agree with Peter, if you need a workout video, why not praise God at the same time? I don't knock evangelicals, at least they look as if the Good News is something to be happy about ;-)

This reminds me of the Episcopal Ordination of Bishops Paul and "Pat"! My toes have not fully uncurled from that experience!
Just plain NUTS!!!!
