Come From Away – Grant Corriveau

“Come From Away,” the Tony Award-winning musical play, tells a true story of 38 flights grounded in a small Canadian town on 11 September 2001.  It’s a remarkable story of community in the midst of adversity, of strangers who would never have otherwise met finding unity and friendship in the very midst of disaster. It is a work of media art about interrupted journeys. The production uses a small cast of only a dozen actors to keep the story focused sharply on the humans. Each actor switches many times from one character to another with only the use of a simple prop, a hat, a coat, or even just a change in voice and body language. We ...

Thoughts on My Past Super Religious Years – Grant Corriveau

Grant Corriveau I was just reading a fascinating article about a Muslim astronaut who spent the entire month of Ramadan while in orbit on the International Space Station.  Since those who observe Ramadan time their fasts and prayers by the sun, what does one do in space.  He explained that fasting from sunrise to sunset is not necessary if one is traveling (orbiting the earth in space would count as “travel”) but nonetheless he observed some fasts while in orbit.   The details and religious restrictions and regulations of which he spoke reminded me of my own attempts to be religious when I adhered to an ultra-old-testament-church sect ...

Night Flight – Grant Corriveau

Watching the beauty of the night sky unfold before him, a pilot marvels at the grandeur of God's creation and the love that created it. We climb northwest from ORD, and as we leave 10,000 feet the first officer begins slowly turning our Airbus A320 towards Montreal. Below, in the soft darkness of early evening, the lights of Chicago slide by. I take advantage of a quiet moment in my duties to enjoy the view of the western horizon. "Hey Dave, look over here.” I call my first officer's attention to what I’m seeing out my window. Because we’re climbing out of the earth's shadow, the sun appears to be rising. "Now we can honestly claim that ...

“I Believe I’m Right” – Grant Corriveau

“It can’t be about having ‘right’ beliefs,” my pastor said. The day our pastor’s mother died our church followed some very strict beliefs. Some would call it ultra-legalism. Others would have identified it as a cult. But then the church doctrines changed radically and he (all of us) were faced with the question, “What about those who apparently died “in error?” “It can’t be about having ‘right’ beliefs.” Suddenly we were confronted with the understanding that our faith in God, our eternal life, and all the most important issues of eternity, could NOT possibly be tied to our often flawed and always incomplete ...
