Contemplatives in Conversation: Sufi and Christian Perspectives


Contemplative practice is often lauded as a common trait of many religious and spiritual traditions, yet approaches to contemplation can be as diverse as the traditions in which they are practiced. This webinar features two experts in conversation with each other about the contemplative traditions from Sufism and Christianity. Nahid Angha and Daniel Wolpert share their expertise and compare and contrast the contemplative practices of their respective traditions. Nahid Angha, Ph.D. is the co-director and co-founder of the International Association of Sufism (IAS), founder of the International Sufi Women Organization, and the executive editor of Sufism: An Inquiry. She is an internationally published scholar and one of the major Sufi teachers, scholars, and translators of Sufi literature today, with over fifteen published books. She has lectured throughout the world including at the UN, Smithsonian Institute, CPWR's conferences, Science and Spirituality, Cortona, Italy, and was among the distinguished Muslim leaders and scholars who was invited to gather for the first annual Shakir World Encounters, an Islamic conference of peace in Marrakech, Morocco. Daniel Wolpert serves as the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Crookston, MN and is the co-founder of the Minnesota Institute of Contemplation and Healing (MICAH).

Announcement: 10/12/2011 (TED: The real reason for brains)


Quick announcement. I saw a TED Talks video recently by neuroscientist Daniel Wolpert. The subject is the brain and the primary reason for its existence: Movement. www.ted.com This is the direct link to the TED video in question. This is a contentious subject but one I'm confident will either find solid grounding in the scientific community, or will be rejected after further investigation. It's certainly an interesting talk and one that seems to have merit.

Movie Reviews #27 - Attack the Block / On Stranger Tides / Hangover Part II


Exactly a month after my last review video, here I review three more films, Attack the Block, a low budget alien invasion flick set in South London. The fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film which isn't as bad as everyone is saying it is as well as the Hangover 2. I said that I wasn't going to make a parody for every review video however I had one in mind for this one,titled Hangoverboard. It would be a cross over of the Hangover and the Pirates of the Caribbean, where a group of mates go drinking in Whitby and wake up the next morning drifting out to sea in a small fishing boat. Who knows, maybe one day I'll make it :) Only 2 more weeks until I leave college so I'll hopefully get to be able to make more videos. Anyways, enjoy.
