"Being in the presence of Barbara Brown Taylor's wonderfully wise and meandering mind and spirit, after all these years of knowing her voice in the world, is a true joy. I might even use a religious word -- it feels like a "blessing." And this is not a conversation about the decline of church or about more and more people being "spiritual but not religious." We both agree that this often-repeated phrase is not an adequate way of seeing the human hunger for holiness. This is as alive as it has ever been in our time -- even if it is shape-shifting in ways my Southern Baptist and Barbara's Catholic and Methodist forebears could never have imagined." More in this On Being interview between Krista Tippett and Episcopal priest, public theologian and author, Barbara Brown Taylor. [Full Story]

Tomorrow, two big-hearted friends of our ecosystem in Australia are joining us for a call. Danny and Berry

Despite being one of the wealthiest families in Australia, they have turned tradition upside down! Many moons ago, when Danny aerospace engineering required designing an airplane that would drop 100 kilos of missiles, his response: “Can’t we all design a plane to drop 100 kilos of rice to a community in need, that’s hard to access?” Take a look at a pre-call we had with them two days (and yes, we took out the unending humorous outtakes): 

Hope you can join in the fun tomorrow! Ari and Nav are tag-teaming as the volunteer moderators, which makes it double the fun. :)

More than 50 young people came together for a retreat in India. 

At the end of the retreat, Jay whipped this informal 4-minute video. What a gathering. Meghna, who has put together well over a hundred such retreats, couldn't stop smiling.

After his Pod experience, a podmate shared his favourite quote in Quaker faith in his gratitude:

The humble, meek, merciful, just, pious, and devout souls are everywhere of one religion; and when death has taken off the mask they will know one another, though the diverse liveries they wear here makes them strangers. This world is a form; our bodies are forms; and no visible acts of devotion can be without forms. But yet the less form in religion the better, since God is a Spirit; for the more mental our worship, the more adequate to the nature of God; the more silent, the more suitable to the language of a Spirit. --William Penn, 1963
