Varieties of Buddhism

Let's Talk about It with the Rev. Dr. Thomas Shepherd rediscovers Unity co-founder Charles Fillmore's zeal for new ideas-especially Mr. Fillmore's insistence that Unity students think for themselves and prove Unity principles in everyday living. Dr. Tom and his wide variety of guests dive into the deep waters of postmodern ethics, current events, political and social issues, the new sciences and new theological insights, mysticism, world religions and a fresh look at biblical studies-no subject is off limits.

Dr. Tom will dialogue with people from a wide range of religious traditions, including New Thought leaders, Unity ministers and students. But don't be surprised to hear from priests, ministers, rabbis, Buddhist monks or the occasional Wiccan priestess. Let's Talk About It is your window to a new world of possibilities in contemporary theology, religious insight and social action through ecumenical and interfaith dialogue. And if you know Dr. Tom, you know there will be some delicious controversies and edgy new ideas.

The ideas and opinions expressed on this program do not necessarily reflect the teachings of Unity. Unity respects a wide range of spiritual thoughts and beliefs, as reflected in the diverse range of subjects presented on Unity Online Radio.
