If you’ve nothing better to do…

I’m on the Colin McEnroe Show tomorrow at 1 p.m. on WNPR, with newspaper columnist Tom Krattenmaker, author of “Confessions of a Secular Jesus Follower: Finding Answers in Jesus for Those Who Don’t Believe,” and Brian Clark of the Hartford Seminary.

In about 15 minutes, I’ll be on the radio

And you can listen here. (Yes, I know. You may have other things going on, but just in case you were staring out your window, and looking for a way to keep yourself out of trouble…) This is a new Interwebs effort at civil discourse, and I’m proud to be a guest. Now let’s just …
