Desmond Tutu & U2, One and Amazing Grace

Incredible, that's all I have to say, folks. Bono even got his guitar out ;-)

I was there. It was moving, but also so disappointing to see people who were on their feet during "One" suddenly just sit down and tune out when Bono began "Amazing Grace."

Partly I'm just impressed how they are willing to put their faith out there, to keep wondering about what God is doing and can do, crying out in lament and praise, regardless of the 'sitting down' or calls for them to 'quit preaching'.

This must be from Sunday night, as I was there on Saturday and I don't remember any Amazong Grace. I guess Bono was just really moved on Sunday.

So great to see Tutu, and to see him so animated and amused.

And Chris, thanks again for your U2 book. Still the most readable, accessible, and interesting Theology of the Cross I've read (don't tell Moltmann I said that, though).

Chris, I wish you were coming to Durham for the academic conference on U2.
