a time of broad controversy and debate over religion – on a scale
unprecedented in recent times- Sunsara Taylor, Rev. Dr. Kenneth L.
Samuel, and Martin Cowen will have an exchange on the question of God,
morality, and the role of religion in society.
* Is religion a creation of humanity whose time has long passed?
* Or does it serve some deeper need of human beings?
* Are beliefs in gods obstacles or pathways to understanding and changing the world?
