A new Bill Moyers series begins on KQED-TV  tomorrow
night (Friday) at 9 p.m.   It could be of interest to
our Humanist Roots Group.  The seven-part series
focuses on "Faith and Reason."  

This could turn up some material of possible interest
to us as a discussion topics.  In any case, Moyers is
always worth watching.  Here's a description of the
series provided by PBS:

"In a world where religion is poison to some and
salvation to others, how do we live together? Is the
vision of religious tolerance just a utopian dream?
These are among the questions Bill Moyers explores
with some of the world's most stimulating authors in
this 7-part program. 

"In the tradition of his landmark conversations with
Joseph Campbell on the "Power of Myth," Huston Smith
on "The Wisdom of Faith" and Mortimer Adler on "Six
Great Ideas," these interviews with outstanding
writers - among them Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood,
Mary Gordon, Martin Amis, and Richard Rodriguez -
plumb new ways of thinking about some of the most
persistent questions facing us today."
