Humour and Faith – videos from September’s Second Fridays

Second Fridays at CCS got off to a great start last Friday. This fall Second Fridays will focus on faith and the arts, and last Friday the room was full of people eager to discuss the relationship between humour and faith. Lesley Harrison and Scott Douglas offered reflections that were both funny and faithful.

    Oh I so much wanted to be there. i just couldn’t manage to get away. So glad to see the videos. Of course it’s more fun to laugh with a group but this is a good second best.
