Thanks to a Healing Illinois grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services and the Field Foundation of Illinois, administered by the United Way of Central Illinois, the NPR Illinois team is visiting several diverse communities to discuss what it's like to live in central Illinois. In this LISTEN session, you hear from the interfaith community. With help from the Greater Springfield Interfaith Association, we spoke to several different leaders and representatives from various faith communities in Springfield including the Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Baha'i and Buddhist communities.

In this excellent episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in studio by Greg Anglea, the CEO of Interfaith Community Services, which started in 1979 to empower people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion. Greg, who joined Interfaith in 2006 and became CEO in 2014, leads this unique organization in delivering services to over 20,000 annually, with services ranging from food and substance-abuse treatment to vocational training and homelessness. We learn from Greg that his path to making the world a better place was heavily influenced by his mother, who was an adult literacy teacher and a Methodist Minister. Her passion for creating change and social justice made a very early and lasting impact on Greg. No doubt his Mom, who passed away 10 years ago, would be proud of the leader and change agent he has become.And what are some of the changes he is trying to make happen for North County citizens in need? First and foremost is safety and security, which is increasingly difficult given the lack of shelters and transitional housing, which Greg points out are very much needed for 18-24 month periods of stability. Helping residents eradicate the hold of drugs and alcohol over their lives is also an important element of Interfaith. Greg makes a very important point with respect to substance abuse - the declining cost of drugs is exacerbating the problem, with a special mention that fentanyl has clearly become the drug of choice. Quite an excellent episode and conversation on homelessness and other challenges met daily by Interfaith. Here are some other takeaways from the interview with Greg Anglea: - His initial interest in working internationally on global challenges- The data-informed #1 reason for homelessness- "Homeless in San Diego" podcast started by Interfaith involves guests who have been homeless- The answers to the Rapid Fire questions! A truly informative, educational, and impactful interview from an excellent gap minder.

Author David J. Wolpe, in “Why Faith Matters,” states “On balance, religion increases social stability, enabling people to live happier, more productive and better lives. That does not demonstrate religion's truth. It does remind us, however, that we are creatures designed to flourish – to heal and to help – when we believe.” Exploring the state of our local faith community, CivitasLA is joined by two of our region's most noted faith leaders, Rev. Kathy Cooper Ledesma, Senior Pastor of Hollywood United Methodist Church, described as “…one of the most famous churches on the Pacific Coast” and Rabbi Mari Chernow, Senior Rabbi of Temple Israel of Hollywood, “a historic reform congregation in the heart of Los Angeles that serves as a vibrant hub Jewish life” as we discuss the central role their respective institutions have played in nurturing faith and their engagement in the civic life of the Hollywood community and of our region.

What about the dog? Join me and my guest, Sande Hart, an award-winning leader in the fields of women's empowerment and interfaith community building and author of "The Liminal Odyssey", What is the psychology behind liminal spaces - the space between “what was” and “what's next”? The Liminal Space is a threshold to the unknown and frightening though it might be, it is also the passage to unknown growth and potential. The better we can tolerate and negotiate the anxiety associated with the liminal space – the better we can change it from a place of peril to a place of potential. She founded the women's interfaith international grassroots organization S.A.R.A.H.

“It often takes people a lot of support and really deciding they are going to ask for help, which is a very difficult thing. Most of us don't want to do that. So when somebody does do that, and they come through our doors and we reach out to them here on the streets of San Marcos…we really want to find out where they are at and help them move forward in the most caring and compassionate and dignified way possible.” - Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community ServicesGreg's career has been devoted to helping others.  After graduating with a B.A. in political science from University of California, San Diego in 2003, he worked at the Joan B.

On August 22 as we mark the second International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief Sabrina Dent, Richard T. Foltin, Kristen Lavery, and The Rev. William H. Lamar IV shared their insights on religious freedom. Freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) is the protection of the conscience and the free exercise of people’s understanding of the ultimate truth. It is not only a fundamental right but also an individual, institutional, private and public right as well. As enshrined in the First Amendment, the Articles 18,19, and 20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights also protect the rights to freedom of religion or belief, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to peaceful assembly and association. However, not every region is always a stronghold of allowing people to live by their core values and beliefs. The rate of ill-treatment against religious institutions, people, objects, or events is increasing significantly. On August 22, 2019, UN General Assembly recognized this by adopting a resolution declaring “International Day Commemorating the Victims of Acts of Violence Based on Religion or Belief”. Upholding these rights and responding to the alarming increase in persecutions of religious people and communities around the world, we believe within the scope of open, constructive, and respectful exchanges at various platforms across local, national, and international levels will be invaluable assets in confronting these ongoing acts of intolerance. To that end, Rumi Forum has invited distinguished speakers to address various dimensions of the topic. On August 20th, our moderator Sabrina Dent and speakers Richard T. Foltin, Kirsten Lavery, and Rev. William H. Lamar IV, will share their insights on highlight mechanisms to prevent unfair treatments towards individuals, communities, and minorities. Moderator: Sabrina Dent, Senior Faith Adviser, Americans United for Separation of Church and State Sabrina is a life-long advocate for human rights and social justice. Throughout her career, she has worked with vulnerable populations including women and children impacted by domestic violence and abuse, youth with mental health and behavioral challenges, and racial and religious minorities. However, she developed a passion as a religious freedom advocate in 2015 when she became a Fellow with the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Freedom. Before joining the AU team, Sabrina worked as director of recruitment and admissions at the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum. Prior to her time at the Religious Freedom Center, Sabrina served as program coordinator for the Doctor of Ministry Program at the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University (STVU). Sabrina is the past president of the Interfaith Community of Greater Richmond. Sabrina earned her master of divinity degree and doctor of ministry degree from STVU. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Virginia Tech. Speakers: Richard T. Foltin, Fellow, Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum Richard T. Foltin is a fellow at the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom Forum. He served in a number of positions at the American Jewish Committee, most recently as director of national and legislative affairs in the AJC’s Office of Government and International Affairs in Washington, D.C., from 2009 to 2018. Prior to coming to AJC, he was an associate with the litigation department of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a New York law firm. Mr. Foltin serves on the governing council of the American Bar Association’s Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice and as co-chair of the section’s Religious Freedom Committee; he previously served as chair and co-chair of the section’s First Amendment Rights Committee.

Mr. Foltin received his B.A. in Political Science from New York University and his J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a member of the bars of New York State, Washington DC, and the U.S. Supreme Court. Kirsten Lavery, Supervisory Policy Analyst, United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Kirsten Lavery is Supervisory Policy Analyst and Team Lead for International Law, Africa, and Latin America for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Prior to joining USCIRF, Ms. Lavery worked at the Public International Law & Policy Group and provided legal and policy assistance to civil society representatives in conflict and post-conflict states. Her work focused on transitional justice and human rights documentation, as well as legal and policy reforms to advance human rights protections. Ms. Lavery has also worked on a range of international legal issues at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, the UN Office of Legal Affairs, the UN Office of Human Resources Management, and the International Narcotics Control Board. Ms. Lavery previously practiced law in the New York office of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, where she focused on international criminal investigations.

WE’RE BACK for SEASON TWO…. IT’S DONE FOR! EPISODE 1: This season, we've selected the book The Five Invitations by Frank Ostaseski. We jump right into episode 1 with the first Invitation: Don’t Wait. We’ll continue to circle back to our foundational questions: 1) What leads to a good death? and 2) What does that tell us about how to live a good life? Listen in as we continue the conversation, and tell us how you’re answering these questions. If you like this, tell someone! Please help us out by sharing it and spreading the conversation. RESOURCES: The Five Invitations (Flatiron Books, 2017) by Frank Ostaseski.

He is the author of The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully. The Chaplaincy Institute in Berkeley, CA is where the 3 of us met and began to share our stories. The Chaplaincy Institute is an Interfaith Community and Seminary that strives to create a just world that honors the sacred connection of all.

ProgressiveChristianity.org is a global resource of open, intelligent, and collaborative approaches to the Christian tradition and the life and teachings of Jesus that creates a pathway into an authentic and relevant religious experience. Shower the People, James Taylor (June 1976) It turns out Jessica is way better at this than even she thought! Well, with the exception of re-writing this James Taylor classic with new words. Fundamentalism: despite the first three letters indicating an emphasis on ‘fun’, fundamentalism in many forms (religious and non-religious) can be damaging. We hope if you’ve experienced that kind of trauma, that you will share your story and continue to listen. Book Club Questions: One of our dear listeners (and Jessica’s BFF) wrote a guide for this season. Find it here: (link to pdf attached) Also, it turns out Frank has developed a guide that can be found at: fiveinvitations.com/book-club Atlas: The Atlas personality, drawing on the myth of the giant Atlas from Greek mythology upholding the world, is someone obliged to take on adult responsibilities prematurely. They are thus liable to develop a pattern of compulsive caregiving in later life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_personality Female Playwrights: yeah, there are a lot of these David.

Here's the finale: Part 3 with Dr. Eisenbaum on Judaism 101 (Part 2)... Ryan, Janel & Heather keep asking questions in Episode 114 of the Brew Theology Podcast (Part 2 of a 3 part podcast series).  Christians and Jews share a large portion of scripture in common, and most everyone knows someone who is Jewish, but what do you really know about Judaism? (The “you” here is intended for Christians, but potentially includes anyone—including Jews who may not be religiously active.) Judaism is rooted in the Hebrew Bible, but it is so much more. Come for a whirl wind tour of post-biblical Jewish history, and a quick lesson on the essential elements that define Judaism. Learn how Judaism distinguishes itself from Christianity (it’s about much more than Jews' and Christians' divergent views about Jesus).

We start our journey with two basic questions: 1) what leads to a good death? and 2) what leads to a good life? Listen in as we discuss our starting position, and, and tell us how you’d answer these questions. Here are a few disclaimers as we start this podcast: we aren’t experts, we haven’t died, we speak in cursory… meaning there is some swearing.

Elisabeth authored twenty-four books in thirty-six languages and brought comfort to millions of people coping with their own deaths or the death of a loved one. Her greatest professional legacy includes teaching the practice of humane care for the dying and the importance of sharing unconditional love.

On November 2, 1917, the British empire declared its support for a Jewish colonial state in Palestine. Why did Zionist leaders seek support from European imperial powers. and why did the British declare support for Zionism at the height of the struggle for world empire? Is the Israeli state under Netanyahu facing a crisis of legitimacy, and if so, what would follow after an end to military occupation of Palestine?Joining us for a two-week special interview is Dr. Samir Abed-Rabbo, author of The Case for One Democratic State in Historic Palestine. Dr. Abed-Rabbo argues that if a two-state solution was ever viable, Israel's military occupation and continued ethnic cleansing of Palestinian land has made this impossible. As do many other scholars of Palestinian history, he believes that the only viable path to peace in the Middle East is now a single, democratic state spanning historic Palestine that favors social and economic justice instead of the apartheid of the current Israeli state.Also joining us for today's show is Tura Cook of the Interfaith Community for Palestinian Rights. The ICPR has an upcoming event, "Palestine & The Aftermath of Britain's 1917 Balfour Declaration," to be held on Thursday, November 16, at the Westminster Presbyterian Church on 3208 W Exposition Blvd. More information about the ICPR can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ICPRAustin.The first half of the interview will air Tuesday, November 7 at 2pm on KOOP. The second half will air the following week, November 14 at 4pm. Afterward, the whole interview will be available on our Soundcloud page, soundcloud.com/PeoplesRadioAustin.
