Beyond The Column
By William Lutz
In a world dominated by political fighting and coarseness, it's nice to find a place to hear about cultural and social issues in a compassionate fashion that doesn't make you feel worse about the world or even yourself. Every Monday, we talk about things happening in our world, books we have read and places the places we go. We go deep, we learn, we connect.
