Thread Name: Song memorial for September 11
Subject: RE: Song memorial for September 11
I quote the above: Only someone who can not put aside their own self of self-exclusiveness could consider "Amazing Grace" ,sung {sic} within the context of America's Euro-historic culture and the fact that it is inspired by a unquely American moment in infamy, could label this song about healing as "divisive". Excuse me? A hymn, not divisive according to a) WHICH religion you believe in, and b) WHETHER you believe in any religion? Only someone who assumes that the Christian reality IS the only reality would quibble with me over that! (Not that I really think that, but the parallel was unavoidable.)
