Mary Magdeline's gospel was lost for
more than a millenia. One of Carol's quests is to learn

February 24, 2008 Antigone and the Politics of Mourning.
What parallels can be found between
Antigone's predicament and ours, today. The King
forbade Antigone to bury her brother. We are forbidden to
view the flag-draped coffins of our fallen brothers and
sisters. How can we respond when the State is manipulating
the depth of public response towards the actions of the
State?

February 17, 2008 The Challenge to be Moral in an Immoral Society.
Our sense for Morality should notice that
there are both homeless persons and vacant houses; that
there are both people who possess great wealth and people
who must choose between food and prescribed medications.
One simple step toward living morally is to simply befriend
one another. Welcome the experiences others share with you.
Acknowledge and listen to each other. Encourage others to
enjoy being homo-sapiens, living on this planet, during
this moment in time.
