This week Karl and Laurie talk about the growing movement to legalize marijuana, and what the church’s reaction should be, using David Brook’s piece “Weed: Been There, Done That” as a jumping off point. They also pull Tressie McMillan Cottom’s Slate piece, “David Brooks’ Polluted ‘Moral Ecology’” into the discussion. Then they go on to discuss baptism in light of this coming Sunday’s lectionary reading, Matthew 3:13-17. You can listen to the podcast here or by subscribing through the iTunes store.
