After 51 Years, the African Methodist Episcopal Church Returns to Cuba
The Tennessee Tribune – Cuba
The 16th Episcopal District announces the reestablishment of the AME presence in Cuba. In 1898 the African Methodist Episcopal Church records its first church in Santiago, Cuba. In 1938, a high-level delegation of church leadership led by Bishop Reverdy Ransom visited the island and was well-received. Until 1960, there were many AME active congregations and members of the AME Church in Cuba who participated in all aspects of the life of the denomination. When the change of government occurred, the AME presence diminished and became almost non-existent. Hoping for an eventual return, the Cuban Annual Conference was never legally dissolved by the General Conference and various attempts were made to restore AME congregations on the island. […]
Caroline Shaw Is Not Here To Save Classical Music
WSKG PBS-TV – National
When the Pulitzer-winning composer Caroline Shaw wants a snack, she soft-boils an egg. She knows that six minutes and 15 seconds leads to the ideal texture — a jammy yolk, with a chalky outer edge and a flowing center. But her ritual for the past few years has been to surrender the process to music, letting whatever she’s listening to that day dictate the precise cook time. She documents her research on Instagram, archiving each test in a collection titled “eggtime”: A screenshot of a piece of music around six minutes long, like a movement from an Alban Berg string quartet or a song by the band Japanese Breakfast, will precede a picture of the finished egg, annotated with her notes on texture. (After testing a Beethoven piano sonata movement played by Mitsuko Uchida: “Mitsuko’s cadences are on the safe side for salmonella.”) […]
Clubhouse Atlanta offers ‘hand up’ for adults with mental illness
The Neighbor – Atlanta, GA
Clubhouse Atlanta, a space where metro Atlanta adults with mental illness can go to get job training and, eventually, employment with outside businesses, would have been the perfect place for Susie Kyle’s son Bo, she said.
Bo, who had Asperger syndrome, a high-functioning type of autism, and problems with substance abuse and mental illness, died in an accident in September at age 39. The following month, Clubhouse Atlanta opened inside St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church in Dunwoody.
“I’m thrilled to be able to offer this to other families that need it,” said Kyle, a Vinings resident who co-founded Clubhouse Atlanta with east Cobb resident Bill McClung, and both serve as board co-presidents. “People whose loved ones are sitting around the house or riding MARTA all over town, with no place to go, this is the place. This is a place for them to go to find a life, get the help they need, get support and make friends.” […]
