An Offering in Four Quaker Voices
Originally broadcast February 27, 2008
Festival of Friends presents four nationally-known
artists—singer/songwriter Carrie Newcomer, and authors J.
Brent Bill, Philip Gulley, and Scott Russell Sanders
for a delightful evening of story, song, essay,
and humor, inspired by the rich Quaker tradition
of finding the wondrous and sacred within the
ordinary and everyday.
The sold-out performance, part of the 2006 Spirit and Place Festival,
received rave reviews. This hour-long program
