Karate Chop for Jesus!
January 24, 2007
So Transmission hasn’t started evangelizing en masse yet, nor are we likely to. We’re a small group, word passes by word of mouth, and people are slowly finding us. That said, if we ever do decide to start an evangelizing campaign, I recommend Karate For Christ!!! Hmm, I’ve heard that ninjas can walk on water…
No, seriously, there seem to be at least four teachers in NYC, including the Warriors of the Light Christian Martial Arts Center on Eldridge Street. We should take a field trip.
Personally, although I have tremendous respect for the martial arts, it seems to me that it might be more Christ-like to practice a physical discipline focused on healing rather than one focused on combat. Yoga, for example. Then I found out that protesting yoga seems to be the only thing that brings Christians and Muslims together these days. Yeesh.
Well, I say to heck with that. We’ve used Yoga in Transmission services before and I wouldn’t mind doing so again. The Genesis story leads me to believe that we ought to love, cherish, and care for our bodies rather than denying all things “of the flesh.” Fortunately, at least one person agrees with me…
