The Sunday Forum: Critical Issues in the Light of Faith is a weekly program of honest, intellectually probing, and generous-spirited dialogue about major issues of our time as seen from the Christian perspective.
Each Sunday, Cathedral Dean Samuel T. Lloyd III and his guests wrestle with pressing topics such as environmental stewardship, the role of faith in politics, religious pluralism, personal ethics, global justice, and faith in a changing culture. Guests are drawn from all walks of public life, from renowned scientists to writers, artists, and musicians; political figures and journalists; scholars from a multitude of fields; activists; and religious leaders. Each conversation includes questions taken from our local and/or national audiences and is directed toward people of faith and those simply curious about it.
The Sunday Forum welcomes a variety of opinions and points of view and endeavors to provide lively, purposeful discussion informed by the ancient traditions of Christian faith. We invite you to join us each Sunday in the historic nave of the Cathedral or online for conversations that could change your life, or someone else’s.
Sister Joan Chittister is a leading author and internationally renowned lecturer on contemporary spirituality, the role of women in church and society, human rights, and peace and justice issues. She is a member and past prioress of the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, Pennsylvania and executive director of Benetvision, a resource center for contemporary spirituality. Among her 22 books are Illuminated Life: Monastic Wisdom for Seekers of Light, and most recently, The Story of Ruth: Twelve Moments in Every Woman’s Life (2007).

Spiritual Partnership is about the new relationship dynamic that is designed for a new human species that is evolving through spiritual growth instead of survival, that is learning how to cooperate instead of compete, share instead of hoard, create harmony instead of discord, and that reveres Life instead of exploiting it. The days of the Lone Wolf and the Solitary Meditator are over. Spiritual growth now requires relationships of substance and depth. Only partnerships between equals satisfy the needs of hundreds of millions of individuals who are striving for lives of more meaning and less emptiness, more joy and less pain, more love and less fear.
This two day intensive workshop is for anyone who seeks spiritual growth through relationships. It is not just for couples, but for all people who seek spiritual growth in any type human relationship - friends, family members, fellow employees, etc.

Gary Zukav & Linda Francis
Gary Zukav and Linda Francis show you how to use EVERY relationship – at home, work, and play – to create authentic power and every relationship between individuals who are drawn to creating authentic power into partnerships between equals for the purpose of spiritual growth.
Gary Zukav for years has conveyed the most complex insights in language all can understand. Over and over, he challenges us to see the depth of our potential in the world…and act on that awareness. He is the author of four consecutive New York Times Bestsellers. In 1979, The Dancing Wu Li Masters: An Overview of the New Physics, plumbed the depths of quantum physics and relativity, winning The American Book Award for Science. In 1989, The Seat of the Soul led the way to seeing the alignment of the personality and the soul as the fulfillment of life and captured the imagination of millions, becoming the #1 New York Times bestseller thirty-one times and remaining on the New York Times bestseller list almost three years. Soul Stories (2000), as well as The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness (2002) and The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice (2003), both co-authored with Linda Francis, also became New York Times bestsellers.
His gentle presence, humor, and wisdom have endeared Gary Zukav to millions of viewers through his many appearances on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Six million copies of his books are in print and translations have been published in twenty-four languages. Gary Zukav grew up in the Midwest, graduated from Harvard, and became a Special Forces (Green Beret) officer with Vietnam service before writing his first book.
Linda Francis has been practicing the creation of authentic power since she read The Seat of the Soul in 1989. In 1993 she met Gary Zukav and they created a spiritual partnership which is in its thirteenth year. During that time she has co-authored with Gary two New York Times bestsellers (The Heart of the Soul: Emotional Awareness and The Mind of the Soul: Responsible Choice) and co-founded the Seat of the Soul Institute, the premiere organization dedicated to assisting individuals in the alignment of the personality with the soul – the creation of authentic power. She has been in the healing profession for three decades, first as a registered nurse and then as a chiropractor, and at the present time is involved fully in co-creating curricula and events with Gary.
