Each week, guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines join the Reverend Peter Thompson and other St. Bart's clergy for deep and insightful conversations about topics that matter to our lives as responsible citizens and people of faith. Speakers in recent years have included winners of the Tony Award, the Emmy Award, the MacArthur Fellowship, and the Pulitzer Prize, professors from prominent universities like Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia, and journalists from New York, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.
Dr. Robert W. Radtke, President & CEO of Episcopal Relief & Development, discusses recent changes to foreign aid and how his organization is responding.

Can being mindful of our mortality bolster our spiritual practices—and even serve as a spiritual practice itself? Eva Ting, founder of Here to Honor, considers how to make sense of our mortality in light of our faith.
