About Cynthia

I live in the rural Eastern U.S. with a musician husband and a household of five that includes a three-year-old. This results in a highly energetic but somewhat unpredictable life that provides daily laughter and perspective.

 

Here’s a song, “Hands of Life,” that I wrote for my daughter & her colleagues, who are night shift nurses in Labor & Delivery:

 

Another song, “You Are Mine,” from 2019:


This is an interview with Megan Caldecourt of SLG some years ago, when Arthur Burk and I did a set of blessings with musical spirit-to-spirit improvisation, Blessing Your End of Life:

Here is the track,“Dan,” that I am referring to in the video, attached here with permission of Arthur Burk:

What do I believe? I was raised Southern Baptist, married a Reformed Presbyterian, and have served musically in several different mainline denominations. We landed in the Anglican church (ACNA), and love it.

I have been asked about theology relating to the human spirit. I believe that only God, Father, Son & Holy Spirit have eternally been. God created everything else, including us, including our human spirits & the rest of our humanity.

He is eternal and unchanging. We have a beginning in His creation of us, & the opportunity through His Son, Jesus Christ, to be with Him in eternity.

I believe everything in the Nicene creed, given below.

NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation He came down from heaven;
by the power of the Holy Spirit, 

He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered death and was buried.
On the third day He rose again

in accordance with the Scriptures;
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life,
Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

“. . . may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

— I Thess 5:23b
