Summary

When I friend drops a new book it is a good day to have a podcast! Today Brian McLaren puts his newest book out into the world. Do I Stay Christian? is completely wonderful. I was thrilled to get to stream with him about yesterday and here it is for your listening pleasure. In the opening you hear about an upcoming reading group. You can head over HERE and get the details. The coolest part is a 3 session video guide you (or a group) can use and then a month of weekly streams. Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity†– just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a faculty member of  The Living School and podcaster with Learning How to See, which are part of the Center for Action and Contemplation. He is also an Auburn Senior Fellow and works closely with the Wild Goose Festival, the Fair Food Program, Vote Common Good, and Progressive Christianity. His recent projects include an illustrated children’s book (for all ages) called Cory and the Seventh Story and The Galapagos Islands: A Spiritual Journey, and Faith After Doubt. His newest book is Do I Stay Christian? and we are going to read it together.
