Dr. James P. Comer to join host Sharon E. Davis on “A Safe Place to Talk about Race” Show

Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that Dr. James P. Comer,  Professor of Child Psychiatry, Yale University will join Sharon E. Davis, host of A Safe Place to Talk about Race radio program on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel (http://www.voiceamerica.com/Channel/246)  Monday, September 24, 2012  at 4 PM Eastern Daylight Time/ 1 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

Dr. Comer’s most recent book is “What I Learned in School: Reflections on Race, Child Development, and School Reform”. His iconic work in child development and the human condition allow us direct access to the best thinking and doing on race and development we can find.  Author of 10 books and countless media and academic journals, Dr. Comer speaks to our racial condition at depths of the mind we can all understand.

Race and culture:  Is it only fear preventing open talk about race in the USA?  Do “racial” groups of adults really have “collective unconscious” feelings on race that surface in “their” private settings? Is it possible for most adults to update beliefs, or must we look to our children and adjust our expectation of adults on race? Maybe we should put more energy into prevention than trying to heal old wound?

Bishop John Shelby Spong to join host Kathy L Kirk on A New View of Life Radio Show

Voice America Talk Radio Network, Internet broadcasting pioneer, producing and syndicating online audio and video, today announced that nationally acclaimed progressive Christianity teacher and author, John Shelby Spong will join Kathy L Kirk, host of A New View of Life radio program on the VoiceAmerica Variety Channel (http://www.voiceamerica.com/channel/246/voiceamerica-variety)  Tuesday, September 25,  at 3 PM. Pacific Time.

Bishop Spong will discuss Progressive and Emerging Christianity as paths where one can retain one’s beloved Christianity and grow spiritually using traditional teachings as platforms for greater meaning and deeper clarity. As a boy growing up in the south witnessing the struggles for racial integration, he was profoundly inspired to dig deeper into the Bible to find the messages of love, acceptance and inclusion in order to bring this broader more enlightened meaning to the Christian world.

His admirers acclaim him as a teaching bishop who makes contemporary theology accessible to the ordinary layperson. He’s considered the champion of an inclusive faith by many, both inside and outside the Christian church. In one of his recent books, The Sins of Scripture: Exposing the Bible’s Texts of Hate to Discover the God of Love (San Francisco: HarperOne, 2005), this visionary thinker seeks to introduce readers to a proper way to engage the holy book of the Judeo-Christian tradition. A committed Christian who has spent a lifetime studying the Bible and whose life has been deeply shaped by it, Bishop Spong says he was not interested in Bible bashing. “I come to this interpretive task not as an enemy of Christianity; I am not even a disillusioned former Christian, as some of my scholar-friends identify themselves. I am a believer who knows and loves the Bible deeply. But I also recognize that parts of it have been used to undergird prejudices and to mask violence.”

A visiting lecturer at Harvard and at universities and churches worldwide, Bishop Spong delivers more than 200 public lectures each year to standing-room-only crowds. His bestselling books include Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, A New Christianity for a New World, Why Christianity Must Change or Die, and Here I Stand.

Bishop Spong’s extensive media appearances include a profile segment on 60 Minutes as well as appearances on Good Morning America, Fox News Live, Politically Incorrect, Larry King Live, The O’Reilly Factor, William F. Buckley’s Firing Line, and Extra. Bishop Spong and his wife, Christine Mary Spong, have five children and six grandchildren. They live in New Jersey.
