The Cohen sermon
Hi friends
Tonight I wrote my sermon for this sunday on a cruel cocktail of the new Leonard Cohen Cd and German beer. Smoke will rise from the tower of Rimsø Church tomorrow!

Hi Peter,
You will have to let us all know how everything went! Sounds interesting to say the least!
Diana
ps..your "cocktail" does not sound cruel to me.

Re: The Cohen sermon
Serious? Why? Church doesn't have to be BORING. Hmph!
OK now I have to ask, which German beer was it? I like the Czech beer Pilsner Urquell. Mmm

Re: The Cohen sermon
Peter, I wish more priests would write their sermon using LC (and German beer) as inspiration.

Re: The Cohen sermon
Just remember, Peter, that Roshi once told Leonard that he needs to sing more sad. Not a bad parallel.
Got a transcript of it or notes we might understand?

Yes I know what you mean lizz, but on the other hand I feel that humour and seriousness go well together, not least in Cohens songs and writing

Re: The Cohen sermon
Peter,
Do you have any of your sermons printed online? It would truly be wonderful to read one of them! Perhaps even extracts?
Who knows, you could end up with a mega-church filled with Leonard fans! What a story that would be!

Re: The Cohen sermon
Can you publish the sermon on this site? I want to come to your church, and then enjoy an Engel Dunkel with you afterwards.
