Prayer of St Francis & Buffy

Thursday, January 1st, 2009

Ages ago, when I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer (intermittently) I saw the final episode of Season 6 (Grave) and was struck with the juxtaposition the visual material at the end with a musical version of the prayer attributed to St Francis sung by Sarah McLachlan. Ever since then I’ve been wanting to track the song down, but it’s never been available in NZ.

However, I see now that recent 2008 album “Rarities, B-Sides 2 And Other Stuff, Volume 2″ (Sarah McLachlan) has that song on it, and it’s also now avaiable in the NZ iTunes Store and also at DigiRama. Cool.

Fernando’s post Fernando’s Desk » Why Joss Whedon Is a Better Theologian than Most Bloggers and Preachers linked through to Ryan Torma’s blog (ryan torma: Firefly & Faith) which in turn linked through to Cowgirl Jazz‘s blog with lots of Firefly material and to Ryan’s own article “Seeking Serenity: Creating spaces for theological dialogue between churches and young adults through the Joss Whedon television series Firefly and film Serenity“.

Further chasing of links lead to:

Which in turn reminded me of:

And I’ve gone through the blog and now put everything Firefly and Serenity related into a new “Firefly” category with links to resources relating to Firefly, reviews, comics etc.
