Growing up in an orphanage in the Bronx, separated from the mother she adored, Lilly never knew the care and loving attention of a stable family. But she didn't let mounting obstacles and family tragedy stand in the way of her dreams. From the time she was a little girl, when the nuns first took her to see the Rockettes perform, Lilly was driven to become a dancer. This is the compelling story of her spirited journey from the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Home for Children to the great stage at Radio City Music Hall-where she danced her way into history as the first Latina Rockette.
Today, Lillian Colón inspires others to find the joy in dancing and was recently featured in Forbes' 50 Over 50 2021 as a woman of excellence.
Jesus gave His followers only one assignment: Go and make disciples of all the nations. Generally speaking, the church across the world gives lip service to that great commission, but our major investments of time, talent, and treasure are in the maintenance of membership, not in disciple making. As a result, our spiritual formation and fervor suffer.
Authentic discipleship leads to spiritual formation, which is more than increased Bible knowledge. It is a divine work of grace involving the Word of God, the spirit of Christ, and the community of faith that transforms and empowers people to live fruit-bearing lives as followers of Jesus.
In From Membership to Discipleship author Thomson Mathew, a pastor, chaplain, and theological educator, provides a deep understanding of discipleship, faith development, and spiritual formation. He presents a clear path from membership to discipleship and an adaptable ministry paradigm to multiply disciples.
The church can do so much more than be a social club, offer worship services, and spoon feed basic Bible knowledge in Sunday school. The church can truly help believers grow in grace and the knowledge of Jesus Christ-to be true disciples of Jesus and carry out His great commission.
Writing through the Top 40 pop songs on the chart of September 14, 2013, Brandon Brown's poems track the life of a song as it resounds through an organism. This organism bathes, reads, writes, likes, fights, loves, hates, and fucks; the soundtrack never stops.

You- the City was an intimate Manhattanwide play for an audience of one. On keeping an appointment at an office in Times Square, a client (audience member) was passed through a series of mainly scripted encounters at both indoor and outdoor locations in Midtown and the Westside of Manhattan, including a church, an apartment, a car ride, and reaching a climax of realization when the client became the object of one of the various handoffs in a Hell's Kitchen playground. YOU-the City was produced in New York City in 1988. It was re-produced in London in 1989 by the London International Festival of Theater. A production in The Hague took place in 1990. Roof's publication of YOU-the City includes the original New York script of the performance, performance instructions, notes, maps, charts, and photographs of the event as it was played out.

Finally! Bartleby speaks his mind. In 1853, Herman Melville published the short story Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street, an icon for generations of resisters, and in the story all Bartleby repeats is one statement. According to Christian Nagler's Afterword, It may be the most reproduced meme in American letters: I would prefer not to. Jocelyn Saidenberg has given Bartleby full voice in Roof Books' Dead Letter. Let's not keep Bartleby inert, not maintain him as an empty sign. Let's not remain industriously bewildered, not translate his preference into an unassimilable ambivalence between acceptance and refusal, not take moderate interest in him, not take it just as far as enigma, says Nagler. Here we have the actual Bartleby laid out before us, his desires, his frustrations, and finally his revolt. Rarely has one person's point of view been so long awaited.
