Part of Ubuntu, Drew Pan Af Choir singing mark millers new anthem. This performance is dedicated to the people of West Papua and their struggle for independence.
Same with me, Because my parents are lesbian so I was scared pastor Teresa would not let us in the church but singing the gave me some assurance that we are still and always will be safe there
This is stunning. Moved me to hears. I found it through Kerry Connelly's book "Wait, is this racist?" (co-written by Bryana Clover and Josh Riddick). We need more big, inclusive songs of solidarity filling our worship spaces. Mark - I'm now following you. Please keep writing.
I reached out to a friend last night as I was struggling with deep lament over what it is to be queer especially in the Church, working towards my MDiv in a denomination that has so clearly said it doesn't want me, feeling like I can't own the fullness of myself with my family/certain groups of people because it will require me defending who I am and I'm just exhausted from trying to do that already. I am just feeling really alone in my queerness right now. At times I feel bold and empowered to take a stand about the fact that there are no Queer theologians represented in my course work, but right now I am just feeling weary and am hurting. My friend responded this morning including the link to this song, and I am feeling so incredibly blessed and wrapped up in the truth that it holds this morning. The names that the world has put on me - abomination, hell-bound, unnatural, broken...- are drowned out this morning by this declaration that I am a Child of God.
Love this song. Have listened to your video of it nonstop since you sang it for my choir at HPUMC. Will definitely be trying to get Zack to teach us this. :-)
Mark, the song has been such a blessing since its inception. Thank you for serving the Lord in this way.
This song is helping me get through the 2019 General Conference.
Same here
