MAGIC CARPET RIDE The very groovy photo above (from U2.com) is of U2 recording in Fez, Morocco. Can’t wait to hear what they come up with in that mystical place. Transcendence much? According to U2.com, the band is in Africa, writing songs with Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. “The band have set up a studio in Morocco’s medieval city of Fez where they have been writing and recording from morning till night for the past couple of weeks. ‘There’s no...

TODAY IN GOD:RELIGION NEWS BITES FOR YOUR SNACKING PLEASURE ____________________________________________________________________________________ Faith adopts key role in 2008 campaign The personal faith of candidates has become a very public part of the 2008 presidential campaign.

GODSTUFF THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH A rabbi once told me that I’d learn the most from the people I thought were the least like me. So I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when, two minutes into our conversation earlier this week, Nica Lalli and I were comparing our hate mail rather than arguing over the differences in our beliefs (or lack thereof).
