Just as I’m preparing a workshop for OHALAH on prophetic vision, this great podcast shows up in my feed. It’s about Biblical and contemporary prophets speaking into our time. onbeing.org/programs/walte…

Hebrew Bible is a masterful many-layered work. Each translation brings out a different layer. There can be NO one best translation. Anyone who loves literature or religion should read more than one! Including this one by great teacher & writer ROBERT ALTER nyti.ms/2GyFxkk

A great afternoon of discussion about religion in the public square PLUS brainstorming for next year.

CIJA's #PacificRegion staff attended the 2018 #Jewish #Christian Dialogue Winter Gathering at #Hillel @UBC. Great to connect with clergy, scholars and community leaders in #interfaith conversation.

Can’t wait to join this group from West Vancouver United Church tonight for chapter 3 of our study of sacred texts of three traditions. The group’s purpose? “To get to know our neighbors better!”
