"An annual prize, with a gala dinner". Everyone in tuxes & gowns, we're sure. It's always 195X in some minds. And the kids will love seeing pictures of the gala dinner in the newspaper.A counter-cultural proposal: pro-marriage music
February 7 starts National Marriage Week. I propose that, in conjunction with this annual event, we identify, and create, music that promotes marriage, including forgiveness and reconciliation within the context of marriage. I concur with the statement of Ellen Wilson Fielding who wrote on July 2, 2015, in the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision on same-sex marriage, “What we need is repeated contemplation of the wellsprings of true marriage and family — not just as encountered in theology but also artistically, in the novels, movies, and writing of the past.” I would like us to identify music “of the past,” including the recent past, and maintain it as a library (or a collection or database) on the Web and institute an annual prize, with a gala dinner, for new music.
Not to be cynical or anything, but does "including forgiveness and reconciliation within the context of marriage" suggest that not all is well w/in the context of the Thunder (If that is his real name.) household?
