April 14, 2017 by Jamie Noyd No Comments

Sitting in a Good Friday service at the cathedral, I’m trying to hold it together. Rejected in a relationship. Uncertain about my job. Lost.

Making the Second City Church Lenten Cross

April 10, 2017 by Theodore Prescott No Comments

I professed faith in Christ in 1970, right as I was completing my M.F.A. in sculpture. I was living in Baltimore, where I studied at the Rinehart School of Sculpture, Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). The results of my conversion were mixed. My behavior certainly changed in some positive ways, but artistically I was stymied. I could not find any contemporary role models.

Fifth Sunday of Lent: Jesus Speaks to His Mother and the Disciple

April 2, 2017 by Jamie Noyd No Comments

Looking on the scene of the crucifixion is painful. Roman guards drive nails through Jesus’ flesh and his body writhes in pain. You hold your breath while they raise the cross with Jesus pinned to it.
