For the past 15 weeks I’ve been singing in an Anglican-Catholic choir and really enjoying it.

I’ve sung in Episcopal choirs (and done a bit of opera) before, though it’s been awhile. But here I’ve really begun to get into the drama and symbolism of the Mass to the point where the liturgy has begun to poke at my agnosticism of Jesus’ divinity a bit.

Though I still have more doubts than ever, I see now more than before, in my ehem...senior years, how greatly western civilization has been advanced through the Christian narrative in music, art, literature and even in science.

I still hold affectionately my time spent in synagogue, and yet read my Torah and Haftorahs faithfully on Saturdays. But it’s as if the whole weekend for me now...and indeed the week where I must practice for Sunday, has become tied up in Holiness.

At least that’s how I relate to it.

Shalom.

And oh...I think I see things now more clearly than even The Pope. And I never thought I’d be able to say that!
