Report #2 from St. Olaf conference
Friday, August 6th, 2010
I see a white-robed procession gliding to the front of the chapel as evening sunlight streams through colored glass. The images in the glass tell the story of God’s people, beginning with creation and ending with the end of time. At the front of the chapel are bare, dry branches which through the course of a week are transformed into a stable and a star. I hear the organ trumpeting out a mighty fanfare that reverberates through the echoing chapel. The cantor’s voice pierces through silence, singing a phrase on a single pitch. Children’s voices float gently in the air, blended in perfect unison, and the hand bells dance as music flows smoothly from one musician to the next. I taste the sharp bite of communion wine and hear the voice proclaiming to me the good news—”The blood of Christ shed for you.”
