• Live Audio Chat Event: Can prayer prevent destructive weather?
(Tuesday, August 19, 2008, 1:00pm CT)

Besides the usual concerns about how weather will affect our daily lives--ranging from a farmer’s need for more, or less, rain, to planning outdoor activities--weather clearly has a global impact. With the cyclone that hit Myanmar earlier this year and the floods in the American Midwest and in China, weather has been front and center in these and other parts of the world. But the question remains: are we helpless before destructive weather? Or can a spiritual approach to viewing the world’s weather make a difference?

Mary Alice Rose, a former meteorologist and now a full-time practitioner of Christian Science healing, will be glad to respond to your questions.

More information about these events--and the live chats themselves--are here at spirituality.com.  You can submit a question to the guest speaker during the live chat, or just listen in on your computer.

Check the Online Events Calendar for the date/time of additional upcoming live events.  Shows typically air on selected Tuesdays at 1:00pm Central Time.  Past events are archived, so you can still listen to events that have already taken place.  And you can subscribe to the event podcast to make sure you don't miss any of the live chats.

• Recent Chat:  A SPIRITUAL GUIDE TO THE OLYMPIC GAMES

As the Summer Olympic Games begin in Beijing, China, much of the world will be looking on.

Also on the table will be the opportunity to ask questions about China and its role as a major player in the international community.
