Still more "Religion in America"

This coming Sunday, September 13th, we will finish up the series on "Religion in America." This has been an excellent review of our nation's historical past, comparing, for example, the personal salvation Christianity of Billy Graham with the social justice Christianity of Martin Luther King. Lots of food for thought. Please be warmly welcome to join us. Come as you are.

Radiolab - Gray's Donation

On July 26th we hear and discuss a recent edition of Radiolab. The story recounts Sarah and Ross Gray's donation, and how that led them to unusual places with unusual questions, perhaps a conversation with the universe. Is life fair? If not, how do we respond. It's a moving, powerful and at times, a disturbing and compelling story. Please join us.

The generosity of curiosity

For July 19th: In a recent interview with neurologist Oliver Sacks, author of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" the narrator noted how Sacks personifies the generosity of curiosity. I had never heard that combination of words, but listening to Sacks, it's true. A certain type of natural, honest, deeply felt curiosity comes across as being a beautifully shared event. Join us, and see if you agree as we listen to the interview. Preview here (from 32:45, forward)
