Dear Ms Jisunkim,
Thrilled to hear that ESR can attract such a shining star of the spirit! I was class of 1980, MMin. Have served various gatherings of seekers. Speaking at a UU congregation Sunday on the prophetic mission of Joanna Macy, a Buddhist scholar, systems theorist, and deep ecology advocate. I’m mostly working out a universalist and largely naturalistic spiritual life. Unprogrammed Friend, loving the Light! Hope you come speak at First Friends Indianapolis!

Hi Grace
My name is Tom Wilscam and I’m hosting the ACP radio show Monday night (June 4th). I believe Tim Vance has already asked if you would be willing to speak on our radio show?
The Radio show starts at 20:45 and will end by 9:30 at the latest.
We are hoping you could take about 10-15 minutes to discuss your topic for the Thurber Lecture.
We usually ask everyone to come at about 8:15 or so to have a chat before. Could you speak for 15 minutes?
The address is Frequence Protestante, 1bis rue Denis Poisson in the 17th. Closest metro is Argentine on the 1 line.
Hopefully, looking forward to meeting you.
Kind regards,
Tom
