At this month’s Salon we discussed the future, using the Pope’s encyclical Magnifica Humanitas as a way in to thinking about how to approach the incredible pattern of planets this summer. This led to discussion of inequality, the effects of the 2008 banking crisis and much more. To watch it on YouTube, follow this link. […]

The following video presentation is intended for those with ears to hear, and perhaps not for the ultra-skeptical. But even they might profit by listening to the evidence – evidence that Trump provides himself through his words and actions which perfectly fulfill requirements for playing the role of
art by Karin Foreman The correlations between astrology and religion has always fascinated me. Religion denigrates astrology as fortunetelling, but also utilizes it to date all important holidays.

The shortest day of the year unfolded, unintentionally, as a meditation on our connection to God via a city break in Liverpool. In the morning, we went to the great hulking Anglican cathedral — which lours over the city from a high point overlooking the River Mersey and the Irish Sea.
