I am a devotional singer/songwriter. I travel in the U.S. and Canada playing workshops, seminars, conferences and all-faith gatherings in temples, synagogues and churches; playing the sacred music of our human family. It is how I honor myself, God within me, and is my service to my fellows. A music ministry, if you will. My current work is in line with an ancient profession known as a spiritual troubadour. As evolution is slow, it is only now that the troubadour is singing to all faiths — not just following the roads of one. Exploring this Journey without Distance that all faiths have in common, learning as we journey that what we share is stronger than what divides us.

I try to keep the conversation alive about Peace On Earth and the Human Family and the Love of God that we all share. “Isn’t that Christian music?” “Yes, and it is Hebrew music too, and Muslim music and Buddhist and Hindu music and Bahai.” Beyond the cathedrals and synagogues, the mosques and temples, beyond the books of wisdom which have offered us guidance throughout the centuries; beyond the words in any language or the form of any prayer, at the end of our breathing out, before we breathe in, there is an innocent space, a vulnerable pause, where the God of all names and no name resides. This innocent space is never far away. Read more: http://www.myspace.com/richardknox1#ixzz0uA9IAMAC
