Nov. 18, Desmond Tutu, “God of Surprises”
“‘There’s no question about the reality of evil, of injustice, of suffering, but at the center of this existence is a heart beating with love.’
South African Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu on how his understanding of God and humanity has unfolded through the history he’s lived and shaped.” - Tippett
Nov. 11: Imani Perry “More Beautiful”
“James Baldwin said, “American history is longer, larger, more various, more beautiful, and more terrible than anything anyone has ever said about it.” Imani Perry embodies that prism. For the past few years, Perry has been pondering the notions of slow work and resistant joy as she writes about what it means to raise her two black sons — as a thinker and writer at the intersection of law, race, culture, and literature.” - Krista Tippett
Lewis & Clark College and Reed College are collaborating to host a joint Virtual Job Fair!
An opportunity on the day after the election for members of the Lewis & Clark community to gather together on Zoom, and additionally for some CAS students to gather in person in a socially distanced, safe classroom environment in the JR Howard classrooms.
Gather for a special optional two-hour discussion for students, staff, and faculty from all three Lewis & Clark campuses. We will spend from 5-6pm the Wednesday evening after the election guided by the wisdom of the late Vincent Harding, who was the chairperson of the Veterans of Hope Project at the Iliff School of Theology in Denver. Listen to the podcast or read the transcript beforehand, and then gather together around the virtual dinner table to discuss and connect. Harding said in the interview with Tippett, “How do we work together? How do we talk together in ways that will open up our best capacities and our best gifts? My own feeling that I try to share again and again, Krista, is that when it comes to creating a multiracial, multiethnic, multireligious, democratic society, we are still a developing nation.”
Whoever wins the presidential election, Harding’s question calls out to us all in 2020: How do we work together? How do we talk together in ways that will open up our best capacities and our best gifts?
For those who wish, we can continue the conversation for an additional hour. Stay for as little or as long as you like.
Nov. 4: Vincent Harding, “Is America Possible?”
“Vincent Harding was wise about how the vision of the civil rights movement might speak to 21st-century realities. He reminded us that the movement of the ’50s and ’60s was spiritually as well as politically vigorous; it aspired to a “beloved community,” not merely a tolerant integrated society. He pursued this through patient-yet-passionate cross-cultural, cross-generational relationships. And he posed and lived a question that is freshly in our midst: Is America possible?” - Krista Tippett

Oct. 28: Darnell Moore, “Self-Reflection and Social Evolution”
“Darnell Moore says honest, uncomfortable conversations are a sign of love — and that self-reflection goes hand-in-hand with culture shift and social evolution. A writer and activist, he’s grown wise through his work on successful and less successful civic initiatives, including Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to remake the schools of Newark, New Jersey, and he is a key figure in the ongoing, under-publicized, creative story of The Movement for Black Lives.” - Krista Tippett
Oct. 21: Isabel Wilkerson, “This History is Long, This History is Deep”
“Go to the doctor and they won’t begin to treat you without taking your history — and not just yours, but that of your parents and grandparents before you. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson points this out as she reflects on her epic work of narrative nonfiction, The Warmth of Other Suns. She’s immersed herself in the stories of the Great Migration, the movement of six million African Americans to northern U.S. cities in the 20th century. The book is a carrier of histories and truths that help make sense of human and social challenges at the heart of our life together now.” - Krista Tippett
Oct. 14, Claudia Rankine “How Can I Say This So We Can Stay in This Car Together?”
“The poet, essayist, and playwright Claudia Rankine says every conversation about race doesn’t need to be about racism. But she says all of us — and especially white people — need to find a way to talk about it, even when it gets uncomfortable. Her bestselling book, Citizen: An American Lyric, catalogued the painful daily experiences of lived racism for people of color. Claudia models how it’s possible to bring that reality into the open — not to fight, but to draw closer. And she shows how we can do this with everyone, from our intimate friends to strangers on airplanes.” - Tippett
Oct. 7: Rev. angel Kyodo williams “The World is our Field of Practice”
“angel Kyodo williams is one of our wisest voices on social evolution and the spiritual aspect of social healing. And for those of us who are not monastics, she says, the world is our field of practice. She’s an esteemed Zen priest and the second Black woman recognized as a teacher in the Japanese Zen lineage. To sink into conversation with her is to imagine and experience a transformative potential of this moment towards human wholeness.” - Tippett
Join us for our free, virtual retreat on Friday, October 2nd (3:30-5pm PT) and Saturday, October 3rd (10:30am-noon PT) with the theme of Rest, Rejuvenation, and Rebellion.

Sponsored by the student organization Spiritual Que(e)ry. This retreat is for students who identify as LGBTQ+ and spiritual, religious, or secular. Students from all three schools are welcome.
Drop-in and join Harold McNaron, the SLS Director, for virtual office hours on Zoom for the next couple of weeks!
Sept 30: Robin DiAngelo and Resmaa Menakem, “In Conversation”
“The show we released with Minneapolis trauma specialist Resmaa Menakem in the weeks after George Floyd’s killing has touched listeners, and galvanized searching, with an extraordinary reach. So I said yes when he proposed that he join me in conversation again, this time together with Robin DiAngelo. She is perhaps the foremost voice in our civilizational grappling with whiteness; her book, White Fragility, is one of the most widely read books in the world right now. Hearing the two of them together is electric — the deepest of dives into the calling of our lifetimes.” -TippettSept 23: Resmaa Menakem
