\u2026but have always wished I could dance \u00a0as I have always wished \u00a0I could play a musical instrument. \u00a0I think a trained and gifted dancer is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. \u00a0So while I can\u2019t do it myself, I think exploring a \u201ctheology of dance\u201d would be worthwhile since \u201cthe earth is the Lord\u2019s and the fulness thereof\u201d including the dance parts. \u00a0Speaking of which, reader Matt Mordini writes:<\/p>\n

I love your blog and have been reading it ever since I discovered Patheos. I wanted to reach out to you to get some help. I run this awesome ministry called Theology of Dance in which we teach and train people in Theology of the Body, spirituality and \u00a0relationships using ballroom dance. I have been working on the program for close to four years and we have been running retreats for the last year, and I have started scheduling a national tour for 2015, and hopefully you can help us make that more successful by spreading the word.<\/p>\n
You can of course check out our website, and if we can find a time to talk I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks again.<\/p>\n
Peace in Christ,<\/p>\n
