QUESTION: What does an Alaskan fisherman, a retired So Cal attorney, a truck driver, and yours truly have in common?
ANSWER: The study of Philosophy.
We all have subcribed to various podcasts on iTunes U (click here for an LA Times article). I am not one for "product placement" but this is too great to pass up. iTunes U is a link on iTunes that connects you to hundreds of different university lectures downloadable to your computer and/or MP3 player for free!
Life-long learning is great, and life-long learning for free is even better. But, most importantly, for those seeking God, community, and a life of meaning, iTunes U offers lectures, panel discussions, and sermons from several different seminaries. For example, I listened to a great lecture on liturgy and contemporary liturgical language called "The Lion, the Kiwi, and the Sacred Cow" found on the Yale link on iTunes U.
This is a great resource for the spiritual practice of study - one of the Four Holy Habits adopted by the Episcopal Church's General Convention. Hope you can check it out sometime!
