It seeks to better understand the lived faith of homeless persons by listening to the voices of the extreme poor. It asserts that one common feature of homelessness is loss, particularly the loss of being accepted as fully human. This plays out in stigmatization and shame, whereby homeless persons are treated and can come to perceive themselves as transgressors matter out of place. Using an ethnographic method and a situational analysis of social worlds, I participated in and observed three homeless social worlds at a downtown church in Nashville: a midweek worship service, a street paper, and a weekly support group. I also used a photo-elicitation process to discover how the homeless found sacred spaces and held onto sacred things as they lived on the streets. Because it is important to understand the larger historic and socioeconomic forces and material realities impacting the lived faith of the homeless, I also describe the making of the places of Nashville, the church, and the three social worlds. Besides participation-observation fieldnotes, my data primarily came from interviews with 40 homeless and formerly homeless persons as well as the leaders of each social world. I conclude with a theological reading and evaluation of the church’s homeless social worlds according to my own theological normative claims of the homeless person being beloved and nourishing a sense of his or her agency. Using Rowan Williams and Sandra Schneiders, I work toward an adequate definition of spirituality that allows for attention to the radically different lives of homeless persons who typically remain invisible to most Christians and academic theology, and I make a case for spirituality as a viable analytical concept in practical theology and as a discipline in theological education. iv To the homeless who shared their stories with me to make this project possible and to all my friends, teachers, and family who supported me along the way v Contents Abstract .......................................................................................................................................... iv List of Figures ................................................................................................................................ ix Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Seeing a face among the homeless: Coyote…………..…………………………………..........1 Beginning to address the "wound" of homelessness: its features and a definition…………….7 Stigma: A state of dis-grace…………………………………………………………………..15 Feeling dis-grace: Shame and its relationship to Stigma……………………………………..22 Filling a Gap in Theological and Sociological Literature……………………………………..28 Listening to the Homeless: Ethnography from Sociology and Theology……………..............40 Sample and Interviews………………………………………………………………………...48 Overview……………………………………………………………………………..………..53 Chapter 1.

Jann, you are truly the best chair and mentor that a student could ever hope for. Thank you! I would also like to thank a sordid collection of cohorts in my program. Jeff Kaiser, who partook in countless discussions and gave me consistent insight into improvised music. Matt McGarvey, who told me what theoretical works I should read (or gave me many a contrite synopsis of books that I was thinking of reading). And Ben Power, who gave me readings and perspectives from the field of ethnomusicology and (tried) to make sure that I used my terminology clearly and consciously and also (tried) to help me avoid overstating or overgeneralizing my thesis. Lastly, I would like to dedicate this work to my partner Linda Williams, who quite literally convinced me not to abandon the project, and who's understanding of the contemporary zeitgeist, patient discussions, critical feedback, and related areas of research are what made this thesis ultimately realizable.

  • Patty Griffin Is Among the Most Consequential Singer-Songwriters Of
    Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together. Over the course of two decades, the 2x GRAMMY® Award winner – and 7x nominee – has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…[her] songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.” 2019 saw the acclaimed release of the renowned artist’s GRAMMY® Award-winning 10th studio recording, PATTY GRIFFIN, on her own PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers. An extraordinary new chapter and one of the most deeply personal recordings of Griffin’s remarkable two-decade career, the album collects songs written during and in the aftermath of profound personal crisis, several years in which she battled - and ultimately defeated - cancer just as a similar and equally insidious disease metastasized into the American body politic. As always, Griffin’s power lies in how, as writer Holly Gleason observed in Martha’s Vineyard Gazette, “her songs seem to freeze life and truth in amber.” Griffin’s first-ever eponymous LP, PATTY GRIFFIN made a top 5 debut on Billboard’s “Independent Albums” chart amidst unprecedented worldwide acclaim – and later, a prestigious GRAMMY® Award for “Best Folk Album,” Griffin’s first win and second consecutive nomination in that category following 2015’s SERVANT OF LOVE. “A master class in vivid, empathetic roots music that’s both about taking responsibility for the choices we’ve made and surrendering to those made for us,” raved Entertainment Weekly.

Here we have Eliades Ochoa and his superb band meeting some of our favourite African musicians, including kora master Toumani Diabate, n’goni great Bassekou Kouyate, guitar wizard Djelimady Tounkara and vocalist Kasse Mady Diabate. What results is music that is at once sublime, soothing and unique, the perfect cure for winter seasonal disorder. LEE FIELDS My World USA Recording since the 60’s, making his ‘comeback’ in ’92 (when Sharon Jones was discovered singing backup for him), Lee Fields at last hits the musical jackpot with ‘My World’. With his 1971 era Stax sound, Fields proves once again that classic soul music is alive and kicking. FRAZEY FORD Obadiah Canada Our favourite East Van singer, formerly of Highlife faves The Be Good Tanyas, steps out on her own on this deeply soulful recording. Featuring her landlord, neighbour and Mom, among other guest artists, Frazey proves once again that homegrown is always freshest. SHARON JONES I Learned The Hard Way The reigning queen of retro soul has come a long way from her 70’s disco roots, finding musical heaven with her Dap Kings band as they dig deeper and deeper into their 60’s era Memphis soul style.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
