A Live Conversation Between Krista Tippett and Joshua DuBois
by Danny Fisher
Krista Tippett, the marvelous host of American Public Media’s exquisite Speaking of Faith, recently down for a live conversation with Joshua DuBois, President Obama’s new head of the Office of Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, at the Fitzgerald Theater in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I think this is worth watching, especially for Buddhist teachers/clergy/leaders in the United States–it’s good to get a sense of what the Obama Administration is thinking (and not thinking) about religion in American life.
This conversation was better – much better then the Rick Warren/Saddleback conversation. Alot of policy talk and vaguness. When Joshua’s website is up and running, I would love if you or someone else in the buddhist journalism media request an interview with him to delve deeper and secretly introduce him to buddhsim.
Thanks,
