Some Hope for the Catholic Church ?

I saw a post to Twitter about the Catholic Church and Dawrin’s theory of evolution. The twitterer is an evangelical- sometimes extreme- christian blog, where members can post. Everytime I start to wonder why I’m following it, something like this comes up and I am glad that I am. Now the blogger gets some of it right and some of it… not so much.

The Interdependence Project

This is an odd entry for me, but one that I am very passionate about.  I found the Interdenpence Project podcast (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=286040275) quite a while ago, and have been a regular listener.  Focusing primarily on the Buddhist philisophical tradition, it is very spiritual, even though the grou isn’t understood as spiritual in nature.  Here is an interview with Ethan Nichterm who started the group. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fE8hvD54Lk&eurl=http://theidproject.com/press.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fE8hvD54Lk&eurl=http://theidproject.com/press.htm
