This morning I had the privilege of speaking with two Christian leaders I value highly, Bruce Reyes-Chow and Carol Howard Merritt, who host The God Complex radio show.  The God Complex is an internet radio show engineered by another leader I respect highly, Landon Wittsitt.

I thought the interview was going to be recorded for airing at a later date, and thus was waiting until I got that date before alerting you to it.  But the show was actually LIVE this morning!  I think most listeners probably listen later, via podcast or by clicking the audio link on the site, anyway.

We spoke mostly about the state of progressive Christianity, my books, the Phoenix Affirmations, and how the Phoenix Affirmations provide a lens for interpreting and responding to contemporary issues.  It was great fun to be “with” them and an honor to be invited.  You may listen, if you like, by clicking general The God Complex link above or go directly to it by clicking here. [UPDATE 8/25/09: The audio quality on this is pretty sketchy.  They were having technical difficulties for much of the interview, but I thought it was going to sound better than it does.]

On their site you may also find other interviews with people you may want to hear from more than me, like Barbara Brown-Taylor, Diana Butler-Bass and Phyllis Tickle.
