Krista Tippett has been intrigued by unexpected themes such as beauty, virtue and religious wisdom in her life of conversation. The “art of living” is another way to talk about “practices of faith”--the being and doing of spiritual life that our world so desperately needs. Join Hamline Professor Dr. Deanna Thompson in listening to Tippett’s journey from Speaking of Faith to On Being, and what Tippett has learned from scientists, artists and spiritual thinkers about improvisation and the mystery at the heart of being present to the world with all its flaws and failings.

Krista Tippett’s public radio show and podcast, On Being, brings a vast range of voices to the animating questions at the center of life: What does it mean to be human, and how do we want to live? How can we listen and speak across our differences to create the world we want for ourselves and for our children? Tippett’s Civil Conversations Project has focused these questions on public life, in practical terms, for communities from the deep south to Harvard Law School. She will speak with us about how we can all begin to create the conversations we want to be hearing, where we live.

krista tippettIn 2014, Krista Tippett received the National Humanities Medal at the White House for “thoughtfully delving into the mysteries of human existence.” The Peabody Award winning Tippett grew up in Oklahoma, attended Brown University, and spent most of the 1980’s in divided Germany as a journalist and political aide. She wrote her first book, Speaking of Faith, in part to answer the question she is often asked—how she became a religious person and student of theology. After receiving a M.Div. from Yale in 1994, she created radio conversations, initially called Speaking of Faith and later renamed On Being, now heard on over 330 public radio stations and downloaded by millions as a podcast. Krista and her guests trace the ancient, animating questions of human existence: What does it mean to be human? What matters in a life? How to love and be of service? Her second book, Einstein’s God, argues that science and religion, far from being mutually exclusive, are complementary realms of inquiry. Her latest initiative, the Civil Conversations Project, is a public forum providing ideas and tools for healing our fractured civic spaces. Can we find ways to bridge the gulfs between us about politics, morality, and life itself?
