  I thought Id share this link:

  It is a lecture by Bill Moyers about faith that he gave in January at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library in Austin, Texas.

  For those unfamiliar with Moyers:

  He is a wellrespected journalist, and was Lyndon Johnsons press secretary. Moyers is the son of a Southern Baptist Deacon, and holds the Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

  Moyers is obviously his own man. I am always impressed by people who use their brains, make the effort to validate what they've been told, and take the time to investigate claims, especially those they've been indoctrinated with.

  From Southern Baptist to a skeptical mystic is a long road. Many posters on this board have made similar intellectual and spiritual journeys. Whether or not I agree with them, they have my respect.
