Krista -

For a long time I've wanted to tell you how much I enjoy Speaking of Faith.

I have often wondered how to conduct such a positive, inclusive and respectful discussion about politics as you do with faith and religion.

Any suggestions?

I enjoy your work, but I wish to know why the belief in the animative spirit is so absent these days in religion? IMO, religion has become too verbal and too psychological if not entirely despiritualized. In my own tradition, Mahayana Buddhism, the animative light or pure mind plays a central role as we try to apperceive it through meditation (dhyana). In a nutshell, it is what animates this body. However, if we are strongly attached to our body, by our desires, we are unable see it--and this absence is suffering. Well, needless to say, nobody seems that interested in discussing the "light" or the light of life (phos zoe). And am trying to find out why. Have we become willfully blind?

Krista, I consider you a "colleague" tho we've never met. I'm using your book as text in a class I'm teaching at Duke Univ Inst. for Learning in Retirement. I play excerpts from your shows in class (podcasts). You have become one of my "inner companions." I'm the UCC campus minister at Duke, and an Assoc. Member of the Jesus Seminar (which I note you referred to once :-) Would love to have some conversations with you about what we're learning together in this class of intelligent and exploring retired persons.

KRISTA:
IF ONLY THESE WORDS (YOUR WORDS) OF WISDOM AND REASON COULD BE UNDERSTOOD BY OTHER LIVING IN THE 2ND AND 3RD WORLDS, IN PLACES WHERE
LEADERS HAVE FOR GENERATIONS BEAT THEIR CHARGES WITH NEGATIVE VIEWS OF THE WORLD. KINDLY KEEP THE VOLUME TURNED UP. YOU ARE DOING WHAT MANY OF
US, WISH WE COULD.

In the words of Jack Nicholson, "You make me want to be a better man."

Thanks for all of your work. You prove that thoughts and faith are not only appropriate, they're inextricable.
