Clergy Chatting About Life, Faith and Reasoning

Clergy members Scott, Fred and myself shared our views about faith and rationalization of unexplainable phenomena.  We also touched on how we maintain faith in times of distress.  The audience was residents of the Rouge Valley Manor, an elderly home, that challenged us with intriguing questions. 

This was the first panel conversation we had at the Rouge Valley Manor, the largest retirement community in our area.  We had such a good time during the conversation that we – our audience included, decided to have another one.  You can watch it here.
