Phyllis Tickle, author of The Great Emergence and Emergence Christianity, is an historian of religion and a native of Johnson City, Tennessee.  She is so filled with information and insight that she is my guest for two programs on Religion For Life.   In this second program she talks with me about how Christian communities are changing regarding authority, technology, and empire.    She also talks about growing up in Johnson City and the importance of Balaam's Ass.   It is part of my “future of faith” series!
