Excerpts from Broadcast Programs

Sister Joan Chittister at TEDxWomen 2012 Sister Joan began her talk with a bold statement: "The second class status of women in our society has always been a matter of faith." She delves into the roots of it — the Abrahamic creation story in which man was created first. But as she says, "Darwin is reshaping the way we think about creation. We are at crossover moment in time — what was considered true up to this time will not be considered true after this time ... Science is giving us a God big enough to believe in." Instead of a God who personally designed the features of our world in one swoop, could it be that creation is a work in progress? And that each of us plays a part? This talk was given at a TEDxWomen Conference 2012 titled "The Space Between" held in Washington, DC, on Nov 30th and Dec 1st 2012. 14m 44s [Link to string on Catholica forum where this was first presented. 05Dec2012]

If the World Was a Village of 100 People... This is an interesting short video collapsing a big range of statistics about us human beings into a digestable size of a community of just 100 people.

The secret to giving a great talk (or lesson or homily)... Professional communicator, Nancy Duarte, draws lessons on how to make a powerful speech or call-to-action. She analyses the "I have a dream" speech Steve Jobs' made to launch the iPhone. She argues all great presentations have a common architecture. 18m 09s [Link to string on Catholica forum where this was first presented]
