  • Nicarauguan Peasant Mass c. 1979

    When I was a ministerial student we were introduced to the Gospel in Solentiname - a Latin American peasant reading of scripture.  Today as I was playing 'pick the hymns' for our harvest service (in two weeks time) I found one or two items of Nicaraguan origin, one from the 'Misa Popular Nicaraguenese'.  When I Googled that, I found something else, La Misa Campesina - the Peasant Mass, also from Nicaragua and released as a recording in 1979.

     

    Here is the Credo, as reproduced on that fount of all dodgy references, Wikipedia:

     

    I believe in you, comrade,
    Christ man, Christ worker,
    victor over death.
    With your great sacrifice
    you made new people
    for liberation.
    You are risen
    in every arm outstretched
    to defend the people
    against the exploitation of rulers;
    you are alive and present in the hut,
    in the factory, in the school.
    I believe in your ceaseless struggle,
    I believe in your resurrection

     

    And here is the Gloria.  It is very much of its time, but still worth a listen. 

  • Once an ISTJ....

    Today I came across a free online Myers Briggs type-indicator (hyphenation mine as otherwise it's ambiguous!) test.  It confirmed that despite all the last few years have sent my way, and despite the fact that I am now more of the sieze-the-day mentality than I used to be, I am still an ISTJ.

    Catriona's Personality Type Results

     

    Way back, when I was at college, a vicar did 'formal' MBTI tets for us and announced quite pointedly words to the effect that 'ISTJs are not ideally suited to be ministers'.  Pah!  Actually my ISTJ-ness has been well employed this past almost a decade, so I reckon God probably makes some pretty good calls.

    Other personality tests are available and none should be taken too seriously!
