I posted this over in the Relgion forum but I'm gonna repost it here because it's a Canadian show. Infact it's more than that, it's a good Canadian issues show and I think everyone who has access to TVO should check it out a few times. It's a great way to keep a finger on the pulse. reconsitutied post part: 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. ----------------------------------------------------------------
that does sound quite interesting man, I'll have to keep an eye out for it There seems to be a lot of this cross-religious and spiritual dialogue going on these days with people of faith, the media however has been too wrapped up in terror, violence, and self indulgence to take note. I'm a genuine believer that we are on the cusp of a new era of spirituality, a sort of awakening if you will, only this time round it won't be the result of a prophet or sage but a force of collective conciousness. This is quite possibly the most exciting point of human history thus far, with the arrival of the information age the world has shrunk considerably, the only question is what's next?
