Amy Barron-Gafford Minister of art, First United Methodist Church of Tucson

Minister talks candidly about speeding, rock theology and good superhero spontaneity

WILDCAT: Have you ever been in a car accident?

BARRON-GAFFORD: No, I haven't.

WILDCAT: That's amazing. So, to what do you attribute your clean driving record?

BARRON-GAFFORD: A lot of cautiousness.

WILDCAT: Do you always drive the speed limit?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Pretty much. In town, I try to.

WILDCAT: Oh, you go crazy on the freeway?

BARRON-GAFFORD: No, not crazy. Pretty close to the speed limit, just a few miles over.

WILDCAT: You are out of control. What's your favorite song?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Probably something by the Indigo Girls. "Ghost."

WILDCAT: If you were a singer in a group, what would the name of your group be?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Probably, Process This.

WILDCAT: Very catchy. Why would you choose that?

BARRON-GAFFORD: The theology that I sort of studied understands our world through what is called process theology. That word tends to cross my mind a lot.

WILDCAT: Would you want to be the lead singer, or play an instrument?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Oh, definitely sing.

WILDCAT: Do you like to be on stage?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Not an awful lot. But you know you have those dreams of the other life that you'd live.

WILDCAT: If you were a superhero, what color would your costumes be?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Probably blue and green.

WILDCAT: Cape or no cape? Mask or no mask?

BARRON-GAFFORD: No cape. No mask.

WILDCAT: Now, would you want to change in someplace like the Batcave, or more Superman-style, in a phone booth?

BARRON-GAFFORD: Probably more of the quick change.

WILDCAT: Just want to get down to business? So, where would your changing place be? And you can't say a phone booth, because it will be occupied by Clark Kent.

BARRON-GAFFORD: It could be anywhere. Spontaneous.

WILDCAT: That's a good quality in a superhero.
