the crossroads of religion and politics in America today.

Anne
Lamott writes and speaks about subjects that begin
with capital letters: Alcoholism, Motherhood, Jesus. She is
armed with self-effacing humor - she is laugh out-loud funny
- and ruthlessly honest. Anne communicates her faith in her
books and in person. She lifts, comforts, and inspires, all
the while keeping us laughing. Her recent book is Plan
B: Further Thoughts on Faith. She is a regular columnist
for salon.com.
Fr. Richard Rohr is a
Franciscan of the New Mexico province and founder of the Center
for Action and Contemplation. Fr. Richard’s gift is articulating
to our minds what we already know in our hearts. He considers
the proclamation of the Gospel to be his primary call, and
uses many different platforms to communicate that message.
His most recent book is Adam’s
Return: The Five Promises of Male Initiation.
