It was good to be back today after losing yet another Sunday to the Winter that just won't end, and it was especially good to come back for another message from Dr. Cliff Cain. His topic was "Is Religion Good or Bad?" Any of us of course can think of historical examples on either side of the question --- Dr. Cain presented his own list, but what matters most is coming together in dialogue, what Dr. Cain called the "united critical scrutiny of people of good will," from any faith or none.
By the way, Dr. Cain also mentioned the recent C. S. Lewis Legacy Lecture at Westminster College; here's the link to the online video of the talk, by Episcopal Presiding Bishop Most Rev. Dr. Katharine Jefferts Schori.
