As the holy weeks of Judaism and Christianity come to an end,
we ask: how do you picture God? How do you pray? And how does your
belief in God connect to your daily life? Plus: Karen Armstrong, Krista Tippett, Mark Epstein, the Rev. James Martin and others join us for this special family meeting on God, faith, prayer and ritual.
How Did You Spend Your Holy Week?
With holy weeks ending in Judaism and Christianity, did you observe
either holiday through: Reflection? Public action? Prayer? How do you
picture God when performing your rituals? Call us at 212-433-9692,
that's 212-433-WNYC.
A Social History of God
Karen Armstrong, author of best-selling books on religion and the founder of the Charter for Compassion,
addresses the question: How are religious concepts and practices
different at different times for individuals and cultures? And we ask
immigrants to call in and discuss how God is viewed differently in your
country of origin than in the US.
Roundtable: God in Our Everyday Lives
Our family meeting continues with a roundtable of thinkers from all
types of religious backgrounds on how God connects with our everyday
lives. With: Krista Tippett, host of On Being; Lisa Anderson, director of women’s multifaith education at Auburn Theological Seminary; Mark Epstein, a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City and the author of The Trauma of Everyday Life (Penguin Press, 2013); and Gadadhara Pandit Dasa, monk, lecturer
and the first-ever Hindu chaplain for Columbia University, New York
University, and Union Theological Seminary, and the author of Urban Monk: Exploring Karma, Consciousness, and the Divine (Conscious Living, LLC, 2013).
Getting to Know Jesus
James Martin, SJ, a Jesuit priest, editor at large of America magazine, and author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage (HarperOne, 2014), talks about the historical and spiritual Jesus.
