Early this winter, Seminarian Liz Kuster invited folks who joined her for Small Bytes and the Wednesday Morning Study to consider what makes a text holy. Below is a list of those texts shared by folks who joined online and in person at HTLoop and HTLakeview.

  • Plato’s Allegory of the Cave

  • Poetry

  • John O’Donohue’s “To Bless the Space Between Us”

  • Gibran

  • Hymns

  • “Praise to the Lord” as arranged by F. Melius Christiansen

  • Taize song books

  • “If I Had a Hammer” by The Weavers

  • Amanda Gorman’s poem (hindsight of a holy moment)

  • “When it happens in community, the event becomes holy itself” -Pr. Mueller

  • Lutheran Confessions/Book of Concord

  • Bible (Romans and Galatians changed Martin Luther’s view of his relationship with God)

  • “The Unicorn” by Shel Silverstein

  • Morning verses from Waldorf 

  • Depth and mystery. “You don’t get the whole thing the first time you read it, but when you come back you see something you didn’t see before.” - Ryan LaHurd
