I have listened to at least 20 of your podcasts alone, for the last three nights after dinner take IPAD for a walk and listen as we walk. The gentle way you speak, your respect for others, and the subjects you work with are current in the midst of these confusing times and you are calm and clear and gentle in moving the needle towards justice, peace and saving our democracy!  Has any one ever asked you to speak at Chautauqua, or a seminary? Loved the Howard Thurman, the paradox of limited time, and the one on Elie Wiesel. There is an energy and a gentle wisdom in both your voices that comforts and suggest ways that lead to peace and justice, welcoming all folks, finding a way to keep hope alive.  

I suggest your podcast to many.  A crazy thought, or maybe not.  I am on the board at Louisville Presbyterian Seminary (You recently used that word) and would you ever want to do something there?

So many options.  Also 40 + years at Chautauqua and I wonder if you have ever been asked to do something there. My wife, was on the staff at Marble Collegiate for 12 years and still leads some speaking events. Nina heard you speak at Marble about 25 years ago.  

St that is it!  Is there any possible connection?  Way we could help promote your work?
