Dancing Saints<br />
Megory Anderson<br />
There is a church on Potrero Hill called Saint Gregory Nyssa Episcopal Church, and it is<br />
filled with dancing. Saints dance on the walls, and people join them below. Dance as part<br />
of the liturgical rite dates back to ancient Christian practices. (“Once there was a time<br />
when the whole rational creation formed a single dancing chorus looking upward to the<br />
one leader of this dance. And the harmony of motion that they learned from his law found<br />
its way into their dancing."—Gregory of Nyssa, fourth-century Cappadocian bishop and<br />
theologian, in his commentary on Psalm 50.)
