Drag Queens and Kings are the Beloved!
Question of the Week:
What is an acceptable level of "extra" noise during a worship service? People cough, babies cry, and some folks have their phones ringing. It can all add up. What is tolerable to some is not as tolerable to others. What do you think?
Special Guest:
Lydia Griffiths, Mythologist, Writer & Storyteller & Ph.D. Candidate at Pacifica Graduate Institute
Guest Question:
What is the difference between mythology and religion? Why are some things considered a myth, legend or folktale and others are something that people believe as a part of their faith and religion? Can a myth become a part of a religion?
