Genesis Pastor Andrew takes comments from Mike Huckabee, the US Ambassador to Israel, on Tucker Carlson's show as a jumping off point to spotlight the various levels of either willful blindness or astounding stupidity at work within the fundamentalist community and greater Israel regarding a desire to use a promise in the 15th chapter of Genesis to delineate modern borders.

We also mentioned why surname Netanyahu is de facto blasphemy - especially for this war criminal.

Episode 131: Genesis 15 and the Lie of Greater Israel .

PHCD 129 pairs two towering figures of 20th‑century vocal music—Dominick Argento and Benjamin Britten—in performances that highlight the expressive clarity and refined chamber textures central to both composers’ styles. Argento’s To Be Sung Upon the Water unfolds in luminous, delicately shifting colors, setting lyrical texts with his signature blend of intimacy and radiance. Britten’s Seven Sonnets of Michelangelo, Op. 22 offers a deeply personal cycle of devotion and emotional nuance, while Canticle II: Abraham and Isaac, Op. 51 stands as one of his most dramatic and spiritually charged chamber works. Featuring Ellen Shade, John Stewart, and Charles Russo, this release presents three masterful explorations of text, timbre, and human expression.

“To Be Sung Upon the Water” (Barcarolles and Nocturnes for High Voice, Piano and Clarinet) is a work in praise of nature. The work is also intended to be a tribute to Franz Schubert, a fellow-admirer of ponds, millwhells, streams, trout, swans and other aquatic phenomena, the tribute acknowledged not only in the title of this cycle (one measure of Schubert’s AUF DEM WASSER ZU SINGEN is “borrowed” to set the text: The image of a poet’s heart), but in the instrumental similarity to his SHEPHERD ON THE ROCK as well. www.phoenixcd.com

Talking about religion and keeping our sanity. 
Knowledge and humour are our best defenses against bigotry.

The Rev. Andrew Stehlik, Th.D. (theologian and anthropologist) takes layperson Peter Rinaldi on deep dives into the sources of religious phenomena. We are talking about religion honestly, respectfully and humbly.
