 Spirituality and Social Action Monthly Discussions
Sat April 3rd: 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM
Join us for a SPECIAL
Spirituality and Social Action GatheringSaturday, April 3, 2010 9:30 - 10:15 am, Sitting Practice 10:15 to Noon, Program and Discussion An interview with Marc Thiessen, author of A 20 minute interview with Marc Thiessen by Jon Stewart. Purpose of the gathering: to watch the interview and our reaction to it. Then consider our difficulty in obtaining good factual information! About anything! Where do we get reputable information and how much do the information sources we personally choose sway our thinking? Obviously the answer is "a lot"!
I hope to use Politifact.com** before our gathering to check out the truth in as many of their statements as I can (both Thiessen's and Stewart's)...but I would let you listen to the interview first and get reactions!
- I think the exercise would serve to make us consider our personal willingness towards skillful discernment, right speech, anger, compassion and an open heart.
- This country is alarmingly divided and we need to start listening to each other.
Please consider joining us. **Politifact.com is a project of the St. Petersburg Times to help you find the truth in American politics. Reporters and editors from the Times fact-check statements by members of Congress, the White House, lobbyists and interest groups and rate them on our Truth-O-Meter.
