It was great talking with you the other day. Thanks so much for your interest in my story and music. I enjoyed getting to know a bit about you, as well....glad we share a love of the north woods and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness!
Shout if you ever head to WV...I'd love to show you around our great state!
I so appreciate Mark Helpsmeet giving me this opportunity to speak on ways to take action for racial justice and healing. It is my hope that we white people can listen to friends, colleagues, and leaders who are people of color and then sit and reflect what each of us is called to do.
I'm reading a great book called _Living Into God's Dream: Dismantling Racism in America_. It's edited by Dr. Catherine Meeks, with a Foreward by Jim Wallis. I had the privilege of listening to and learning from Dr. Meeks, together with my Freedom Summer class, during our stop in Atlanta.
Admirable and so honest.Helen Keller once said it is impossible to be a Christian and Not be a socialist.However it is doubtful that Jesus would have espoused violent revolution "those who live by the sword will die by the sword" and He was shocked when Peter tried to defend Him by cutting off the ear of the soldier who came to arrest Christ in Gethsemane.There ate quite a number of communists today (quite different from the early 20th century) who believe that evolution to communism rather than revolution can be achieved through the progressive peaceful electoral process even though this may take a long time.
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?
Bravissima, Giulia!

Thank you for the kind words and continued support Nate!
Thank you so much for having me on my friend! Great to meet you:)
Great experience working with Mark to make this happen
Honest sincere statement. Long live communism and long live Rev Earp

That was a really good interview, Mark! Enjoyed it so much! Glad that little spark of an idea became something so lovely!
