A jazz theologian is someone who has discovered that jazz is more than music.  Therefore…

We are practicing Christians.  Having spent sufficient time in the woodshed learning the old standards we now syncopate, improvise and respond the the call of a Love Supreme.

We walk with Christ, embracing creative tension, joining in the mystery of life in concert.

We have time, rather than time having us.  We develop our ear so that we might listen to the needs of others, then live and love like Jesus.

We live a composed life guided by the eternal melody of the Word of God as we add our own voice.

We sing the blues so as not to waste any pain.  We follow in the footsteps of our “kind of blue” Christ, offering our lives as statements to the renaissance that only He can bring.
