After a week break, I’m back with a new podcast – my reflections on the whole Teri Schiavo fiasco. No wired links on this one but since it can be found on nearly every blog, many podcasts, and the news, I’m sure you have your own. When President Bush is talking about creating a “culture of life” out of all this, all I see is a “carnival of death”, with sideshow freaks and carnies on both sides claiming moral superiority and the spiritual high ground. I have no use for either side and I don’t see god in either place. My take is that God is in the midst of it all, embracing the suffering, enduring the questions that have no easy answers, and walking with us to an unexpected new life that trumps the scientific fact mongers and the Bible thumping fanatics. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what Holy Week was all about, cross and resurrection, choices of death and life in a broken world that is fixated on a carnival of death. <\/p>\n
What do you think the implications are of all this – for the country, for us individuals, and for people on the spiritual journey?<\/p>\n
