In another post, we ask the question”what if all non-harming ministers were to join together in a grass roots movement leading their communities in song, fostering an ethic of sharing and understanding, and open hearted compassion towards the last and least, right here in our country.” Here, we offer yet another possibility for ministers interested in teaching mercy and kindness, ministers interested in tackling even more painful and difficult topics, within the context of song, because art can sometimes reach where sermonizing cannot. We offer for your kind consideration, Rough Justice.

Peter Drucker, the renowned business luminary of the 1980s, has been known to say that the best hope for our country’s problems is if the leadership of the religious groups could possibly come together and find common ground. Surely recent trends in hunger, pointing to the possibility that half of our country’s children can expect to receive food assistance some time during their childhoods, could be one area in which we can agree to come together. Our thought: why not sing for other’s suppers? We will be singing every second Saturday, and Godwilling, some of you will, as well. Here, for your kind consideration, a few songs.
