Monastic voices

Posted on by

Benedictine spirituality is at the heart of our music this week from two women more than 800 years apart the 12th century German mystic, nun and composer Hildegard of Bingen and the Irish singer of Celtic spiritual songs, and theologian, Nirn N Riain.

Inspired by Christian plainchant and by monastic settings the Benedictine Abbey of St. Hildegard in Eibingen, and Glenstal Abbey in County Limerick both women have explored vocal music as a religious experience.

As well discover with the new album for Nirn N Riain, Hearth Sounds, a collection of English-language hymns, medieval chant and Irish sacred songs ,which also features her two sons Owen and Moley Silleabhin. One of Ireland's best-known musicians, Nirn is acclaimed for her singing of Gregorian chant. She's also a theologian and musicologist who teaches at the University of Limerick, and runs retreat days in Glenstal Abbey near where she grew up in Limerick.

We'll also explore Hildegard, a recent album of medieval electronica from British composer Stevie Wishart with ensemble Sinfonye and Bjorks producer Guy Sigsworth, reimagining the monastic chant of Hildegard of Bingen, the 12th century nun, poet, herbalist, visionary, and composer of thrilling sacred music that continues to be popular today.

And to complete our St Patrick's Day programming there's the new single from Van Morrison, reworking this back catalogue with the help of Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler.

For 'East Side Jews,' a hipster take on spirituality

Posted on by

In a small, packed room in Los Feliz, young Jewish writers, artists and hipsters with beards, Buddy Holly glasses and a fair amount of flannel sit down to Shabbat dinner.

It's the last Friday in January, and about 30 self-proclaimed "East Side Jews" are putting an urban spin on the Jewish day of rest. Instead of spending it with their families at home, they have crowded into a homey restaurant with friends, old and new.

There is no lace tablecloth here, none of the fancy candlesticks or special tapers associated with a traditional Shabbat meal.

The fundamentals of the ancient ritual mix with newfangled flourishes: A woman recites three traditional prayers over two tiny tea lights; the prayers are traditional, the tea lights are not. The small Kiddush cup filled with wine and the sesame Challah bread? Traditional. The very humble brown bag that looks like it was snagged from a Vons deli holding the bread? Not a chance.

One man wears a kippah, while another explains that he doesn't believe in God. A waiter places a not-so-kosher BLT sandwich on one of the tables, while others mix dairy and meat a very un-kosher move.

Outside, in the drizzling rain, others wait in the cold. Soon they are sent packing to the rain-soaked patio, like churchgoers told that the House of God is sold out tonight.

Some lean against the white doorway, crossing their arms and rolling their eyes, noticeably annoyed that they sat in traffic for two hours or dragged their conservative parents through the downpour just to eat outside.

"We came all the way from Torrance and we can't get a seat," a bearded man grumbles while he waits.

::

They call themselves East Side Jews, a nondenominational collective that welcomes people of all faiths and seeks to explore spirituality in unconventional ways.

Faith and marriage: Couples report more satisfaction with spirituality

Posted on by

Jessica and Stephen Zimmerman discuss "Preach My Gospel" passages together while in their home in Provo Thursday, March 5, 2015.

Chelsey Allder, Deseret News

PROVO When Stephen and Jessica Zimmerman come home, they settle into an easy routine. They talk about their day, eat dinner and start to clean up.

But as they begin doing the dishes, the topic usually changes to faith, religion and spirituality.

"We always make a point to talk to each other and share what we can about what we're learning and how we're growing," Jessica Zimmerman, 24, said.

It's what first drew the couple together.

They began having spiritual discussions while they were both single and served together in a singles ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Since they were married on Dec. 21, 2014, Jessica Zimmerman said, they have tried to continue their spiritual learning together.

"Being single, I loved talking about my faith," Stephen Zimmerman, 25, said. Once he was married, he felt he then had someone who supported him and could talk with him about faith.

Lem Bach, 34, said when he and his wife, Desirae, 33, were married in 2004, it was easy to skip church services. They were working hard and felt God would want them to be well rested.

Crossroads of faith and fitness

Posted on by

A trend among some of America's faithful combines church membership and a gym experience. Increasingly, the congregants are turning Sunday into a day for spirituality and sweat, reports CBS News correspondent Manuel Bojorquez.

Gwen Kelley attends Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, and says she's following the word of God all the way to the gym.

She doesn't have to go far; her workout is at her place of worship, but the thought of going to any gym was daunting.

"When you are overweight, you just kind of feel that you should not take up space," Kelley said. "At any other gym people aren't going to understand that God is allowing me to take up space, so I will feel more judged there."

Toby Graham, who is also a church member, is her trainer.

"I think people are starting to understand that there is a really powerful connection between spiritual wellness and physical wellness," she said.

While a higher purpose may help encourage a healthy lifestyle, it can also go the other way.

One study from Northwestern University found young adults who frequently attended religious activities were 50 percent more likely to become obese by middle age than those who did not.

Throughout Texas and other parts of the nation, more churches are motivating members to work out, adding state-of-the-art facilities and charging members a nominal fee, as low as $10, for access.

There's even a magazine called Faith and Fitness.
