i ran into rudy rasmus this summer at soulfeast at lake junaluska. i wasn't a participant of soulfeast, but i got to meet him cause my people knew his people and i am just so important.. not really. he was standing in the doorway going to some workshop when people i did know intro'd me. from what i gathered he was quite the spiritual leader for the group at soul feast. buddy jay voorhees really liked him and contemplated growing the braided beard look.

the folks at the circuit rider have in circulation an article he's written on ministry with the homeless and hungry in our society titled desiring the undesirable that is a definite read.
