Rubrixx's "Soothe the Soul...with Rock' n' Roll"

by The Rev. Debo Dykes

It was “the Rev.” Bob Seger who once sang, “Still like that old time rock’ n’ roll…That kind of music just soothes the soul…” And “Soothe the Soul” was just what the Rubrics did Saturday night at the 181st Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi Annual Council in Natchez, MS.

Copy_of_annual_council_2008_100_thumbWhile Charlie Deaton, Brian Owen, Scott Lenoir, and Alston Johnson, rocked the house with good ole rock’ n’ roll music, hundreds burst onto the dance floor to reminisce about days of old.  First on the dance floor were the women.  Humm…reminds me of a story, “And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they (the women) went to the tomb.”  As the Rubrixx's rocked and the women danced, others joined in the celebration of the 181st Annual Council of the Episcopal Diocese of Mississippi festivities.  Who would have thought that four lil’ ole’ priest from Mississippi could transform Ms. Wilhemine Damon, 84 years old, from Meridian,  into an “18 year old” who out danced, out lasted, and out shined everyone on the dance floor.  Keep on dancing Ms. Damon!  And…keep on playing RUBRIXX'S!  (To view photos from the 181st Annual Council go to www.dioms.org / News & Events / Event Photos.  Or, click here!
