    Live simulcast will feature “God Is One” discussion with Bruce Feiler and Karen King

    logo SIFFSedona AZ (December 6, 2012) – New York’s famous 92nd Street Y returns to Sedona on Sunday, Dec. 16 when the Sedona International Film Festival hosts the live simulcast discussion “God Is One: Moses, Jesus, Muhammad” featuring Bruce Feiler and Karen King with moderator Reza Aslan. The special simulcast event will take place at 6:15 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre, live as it is happening in New York.

    20121206 karen kingTake a journey with some of the most fascinating and dynamic thinkers and writers on religion today. Monotheism is a very new idea in the history of religions, yet it has become the foundation of the three great western religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Are prophets inventors of religion, or are they social reformers who, as mouthpieces of the gods, strive to amend and reinterpret the existing beliefs and practices of their communities?

    Bruce Feiler is one of America’s most popular voices on faith, family and finding meaning in everyday life. He is the best-selling author of nine books, including Walking the Bible, Abraham and America’s Prophet, and one of only a handful of writers to have four consecutive New York Times nonfiction bestsellers in the last decade. He is also the writer/presenter of the PBS miniseries Walking the Bible. His latest book, The Council of My Dad: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could Be Me, tells the uplifting story of how friendship and community can help one survive life’s greatest challenges. Feiler has written for numerous publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine and Gourmet, where he won three James Beard Awards. He is also a frequent contributor to National Public Radio, CNN and Fox News.

    Karen L. King was appointed to the Harvard Divinity School in 1998 and from 2003 to 2009 served as the Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History. In October 2009, she became the first woman appointed as the Hollis Professor of Divinity, the oldest endowed chair in the United States (1721). Trained in comparative religions and historical studies, King pursues teaching and research specialties in the history of Christianity. Her books include The Secret Revelation of John; The Gospel of Mary of Magdala: Jesus and the First Woman Apostle; What Is Gnosticism?; Reading Judas: The Gospel of Judas and the Shaping of Christianity (with Elaine Pagels); and Revelation of the Unknowable God.

    The discussion’s moderator, Dr. Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions, is the founder of an online journal for news and entertainment about the Middle East and the world. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, and the Pacific Council on International Policy. Aslan’s first book is the International Bestseller, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, which has been translated into thirteen languages, and named one of the 100 most important books of the last decade.

    The Apprentice
    By Tommy Acosta
    Watching the latest debate from end to end once again it appears that the future of the GOP rests upon the shoulders of Vivek Ramasamy. Not sure exactly why but he simply outshines the pack. He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
