11/06/16 "Taking Stories Lightly"

On my trip to Israel, I was struck so strongly about the power of stories, and how important it is how we read and understand our religious stories. Are they warm blankets or straightjackets? Maps to explore or fences to contain us? Where is the line between devotion and fanaticism? I’ll reflect on religious diversity, relations between Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and how to be playfully respectful.
