Summary

In this intimate conversation between Krista and one of her beloved teachers, we ponder the world and our place in it, through sacred text, with fresh eyes. We’re accompanied by the meditative and prophetic poetry of Wendell Berry, read for us from his home in Kentucky: “Stay away from anything / that obscures the place it is in. / There are no unsacred places; / there are only sacred places / and desecrated places. / Accept what comes of silence."

0:22.3	I'm Christa Tippett. Up next, my unedited conversation with Theologian Ellen Davis.
0:28.9	There is a shorter, produced version of this, which includes poetry from Wendell Berry that he

0:54.4	Chris, I think my microphone is pretty hot. But I'm not, I was hearing an echo at first,
1:00.2	but I'm okay now. Ellen, are you hearing me all right? I'm hearing you fine. And you're without
1:06.3	an echo. All right. Just need one more second, Chris. All right. Just before we start, are you
1:14.8	well? Is Duane well? I'm well. Yes. Thank you. And Duane's very well. He's a year into recovery
1:22.4	from hip surgery and it makes a huge difference. So things are good. Thank you. And you and your

1:35.2	new book come out that I know I know. I know. Yeah, Einstein's God. It's drawn from my interviews
1:43.6	with scientists. And it's a lot of fun to be out there talking about, but I'm happy to be back
1:49.5	and my kids are happy to have me back. I bet that. Well, congratulations on that. I'll send you
1:55.8	a coffee. I should actually think I had put that down on a list somewhere at some point and
2:00.3	forgot. So Chris, I'm still feeling kind of loud or it went up again. My volume went up again.
