Thought I'd toss this out there for those interested. This week, The Agenda with Steven Paikin is hosting 'Five Days of Faith' where the issues show will be tackling relgion/spirituality discussion. For Canadians: The show is on TVO at 8pm and 11pm For the rest: The internet site also hosts podcast versions of the show (for those technically declined, this doesn't mean you need an ipod, just a computer and some quicktime) This show is well worth the effort to watch/listen, no matter what the topic. http://www.tvo.org/cfmx/tvoorg/theagenda/ The thing I found interesting about last night's show was acutally a visual that was commented on at the beginning and end of the show. When they all start out, everyone is so proud of the iconic shot of all of the different religious figures sitting around the table. At the end (I beleive it was the protestand fellow) it's brought up, that if all of our relgions were so progressive and full of equality, then why was it all men at the table - then the camera pulled out to that same shot from earlier. It certainly made the fellow's point and the visual nailed it home. Overall though. It was a nice discussion. I'm sure we'll be getting into some of the meatier stuff as the week goes on.
This didn't sound interesting to anybody at all? Nobody else watching/listening to these shows? Tuesday night's show had some good rhetoric and insults in it if that's the only thing that motivates folk in these parts. The geopolitical one last night was neat. Not so much the 'you guys are stupid' 'no you're stupid' of the Tuesday night show. Monday's show wasn't bad but the religious groups represeneted really wanted to take credit for a piece of the "Others" in the statisics when it's more likely to be the other way around. (Like catholics who say they are only because their parents were ) Tonights is: Do we need God or does God need us? Being the thursday live show, there's also a video chat online after the show is done (For the podcasters/video streamers, that won't be posted till tomorrow afternoon) Bueler?
