Bart Campolo joins me to talk about building community as a former Christian Pastor turned Humanist Minister. There are no hard feelings toward faith or the church here, just a moving towards something greater and seeking a more meaningful existence.

We all engage with myths and experiences in our own different ways and 2020 has been no exception. This week we look at the cultural myth of Santa Clause and explore the wide range of ways people can interact with and experience this myth. A rebroadcast of last years Christmas episode: "Seeing Beyond the Myths."
Joe Burnham joins me to talk about his experience as a funeral officiant and some of the insight he's gleaned from his experiences that can also teach us how to build and maintain strong communities and connections.

Fran Pratt aka "The Litanist" joins me on episode 38 for a conversation about liturgy, litany, and our need for community that engages on a deeper level. Through her work as "The Litanist" she has been modernizing the the traditional practice of ----more----call and response prayer which she does with a great finesse and an open heart and mind. It's hard to describe her work well without experiencing it, but though she makes use of religious language, as a reader I never felt strong armed into any certain way of thinking. Her writing allows a lot of meditative room to breath and seems much more concerned with personal development and rich communal engagement rather than correct doctrinal belief or dogma.
Check out her book "Call and Response" on Amazon

We’re always shouting at the external problems... what needs to change in the world and whose to blame for the short comings. But the richest and most meaningful work tends to come from those who have shifted their attention inward and focused on doing their inner work before critiquing the external. Those are the voices we desperately need. Those are the voices we need speaking into our lives and our culture. And on episode 35 I have a few such voices to share with you. Enjoy.

There is often a disconnect between Police officers and the communities they serve. Fear, anxiety, and false assumptions all play a role. For the past 4 years Michael Acuña (aka ill se7en, aka Acuña Black) has made it his work to build bridges between officers and their communities and mend the gap divided by a thin blue line.

Rituals are the back bone of all community. Whether it's a group friends, a religious community, or simply the intimate community of ones home, rituals play a key role. Rusty Gates brings his experience and expertise to the table on episode 32 and shows us that ritual isn't just a convention of religion... it can really be anything we do that brings us closer together. Ritual is that which can make a gathering of people into something so much more than just a mere collection of individuals.
