ClariTalks

To finish our exploration of place in Season 4, we spend an entire day in Temple of Zeus, a cafe in between Klarman and Goldwin Smith Halls. We talk to people studying, coffee chatting, and doing otherwise to try to learn something about our campus.

Christians throughout time have thought about where they worship in very diverse ways. Some place great emphasis in the physical beauty of a space, while others emphasize that God meets us wherever we are. Further, physical surroundings can be great distractions to transcendent things. August explores how has the Christian tradition wrestled with this tension and what we should do with it now.

Season 4 begins as we look into the long zoning crisis in Caroline, NY, a town just outside of Ithaca. After digging into the details of the law and the dispute, we talk to Eric O. Jacobsen to explore a Christian approach to land use and the built environment. What's happened to make residents react so strongly, and is the push back justified?

Dr. Anthony Bradley joins the show to discuss the state of fraternities at Cornell. Are they institutions of moral formation that can be used for good or inevitably instruments of harm?
