Sharon Salzberg, Lawrence Kushner, Anne Lamott, and Omid Safi The Meaning of Faith
In our time, some associate the word \u201creligion\u201d with rigid dogma and the excesses of institutions. The word \u201cspirituality\u201d on the other hand can seem to have little substance or form. The word \u201cfaith\u201d can appear as a compromise of sorts, pointing to the content of religious tradition and spiritual experience. The truth is, all of these words are vague in the abstract. They gain meaning in the context of human experience.\nIn this show, we\u2019ll explore the connotations of the word \u201cfaith\u201d in four traditions and lives: Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. We\u2019ll speak with Sharon Salzberg, Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, Anne Lamott, and Omid Safi.
