Audrey Assad released her five-star and No. 1 selling album, Inheritance, earlier this year on Fortunate Fall Records with Tone Tree Music distribution. RTV premieres today the first music video from the recording, “Be Thou My Vision,” featuring Audrey’s lush, cinematic-styled approach to the beloved hymn. A collection of hymns and original songs that both pay homage to Audrey’s childhood heritage and to her Catholic faith and charismatic spirituality, the full Inheritance album is available now iTunes, Amazon.com, Christianbook.com and physical retailers everywhere. In many ways, a hymns album is a return home for Audrey who grew up learning to sing in a Plymouth Brethren community. “I was raised in a church where we didn’t use any instruments on Sunday mornings,” Audrey notes. “I learned to sing there, from the old hymnbooks, in four-part harmony, with my family and my neighbors. It was multi-generational, it was deep and rich and beautiful, and like most of my favorite worship music, it was steeped in community.” For more information on Audrey Assad and Inheritance, go to http://www.audreyassad.com, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ,YouTube.com and iTunes

Almost the whole of Christian theology could perhaps be deduced from the two facts (a) That men make course jokes, and (b) That they feel the dead to be uncanny. The course joke proclaims that we have here an animal which finds its own animality either objectionable of funny. Unless there had been a quarrel between the spirit and the organism I do not see how this could be: it is a very mark of the two not being ‘at home’ together. But it is very difficult to imagine such a state of affairs as original—to suppose a creature which from the very first was half shocked and half tickled to death at the mere fact of being the creature it is. I do not perceive that dogs see anything funny about   being dogs: I suspect that angels see nothing funny about being angels. Our feeling about the dead is…

Jesse Jackson speech at the 1984 Democratic Convention. Moscone Center, San Francisco


Tonight we come together bound by our faith in a mighty God, with genuine respect and love for our country, and inheriting the legacy of a great Party, the Democratic Party, which is the best hope for redirecting our nation on a more humane, just, and peaceful course.This is not a perfect party. We are not a perfect people. Yet, we are called to a perfect mission. Our mission: to feed the hungry; to clothe the naked; to house the homeless; to teach the illiterate; to provide jobs for the jobless; and to choose the human race over the nuclear race.
