Friends, Poems, 'Good Religion'

RNS Audio will soothe your weary Daylight Savings Time selves this week with a wide slate of perspectives on friendship, courage and hope. Just the thing for the week when many of us are getting glimpses of spring.

Saved By The City talks this week with their old friend, Laura Tremaine. Laura has written a guide to the core friendships you need to get through life, which she calls "The Life Council."

Dr. AnneMarie Mingo is the guest on The State Of Belief with the Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush to talk about her book, "Have You Got Good Religion? Black Women’s Faith, Courage, and Moral Leadership in the Civil Rights Movement." Find out how one powerful figure in the civil rights movement, Parthia Hall, originated the “I have a dream” refrain that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s borrowed for his most memorable speech.

Join Rabbi Jeff Salkin and Rachel Korazim take a poignant journey through poems that delve into the heartbreak of the war in Gaza. In both English and Hebrew, these poems offer a profound exploration of the pain of war, inviting you to reflect and find solace in a deeper, more contemplative space.

Katelyn and Roxy are joined by Laura Tremaine to discuss what it might take to make a priority of our friendships.

Dr. AnneMarie Mingo is the author of the new book, “Have You Got Good Religion? Black Women’s Faith, Courage, and Moral Leadership in the Civil Rights Movement.”

A new Israeli literature has emerged out of the rubble of Oct. 7. It is powerful, devastating and hopeful.
