Richard Parker "I do see religion as a kind of art form." -- Karen Armstrong (from today's show). Bravo!
Elisabeth Thacker I enjoy your show so very much. I have learned, laughed, cried and become spellbound on more than one occasion...like TODAY. Your show with Karen Armstrong ws fascinating...many times during the broadcast I found myself finishing her sentences...our experience discovering "God" has been very similar.. Many blessings!!
Shelley Davies Gentile Outstanding show today Krista!
Andrew Newton You're in your ninth year. Still patiently waiting on a comprehensive episode specifically focusing on the American Wiccan community. We'll be patient and keep waiting, but how much longer? I know it will take courage to do this, but you can do it.

Speaking of Faith This week's show direct: "The Freelance Monotheism of Karen Armstrong"
Speaking of Faith
This week's show: Karen Armstrong. She has a new bestseller, "The Case for God," and this month she unveils the Charter for Compassion — a kind of global call to action she initiated after winning the prestigious TED Prize in 2008. Krista 's 2004 interview gives a better understanding of the woman behind the ideas — wh...at compels her, and how she evolved from a disillusioned young nun into a thinker with a singular influence on religious understanding in our time.

“So, Mom called. The cows broke out again. Two separate locations, and Dad had just repaired the fences. Hunters everywhere (makes them stampede). Hopefully they can get all the repairs done in time ...
Speaking of Faith A Friday video snack for those whose minds are weary and require a meditative moment. It allows one ten minutes to reflect, to peer into blizzard and cold, to think about hard times, and the joy of the road ahead -- with great music by Low.
