Listen to Karen Armstrong on the Radio

If you were unable to attend last week's lecture, "Understanding Islam and the West" by renowned religion scholar Karen Armstrong, you'll be able to listen to it on the radio this week. The Thursday lecture and subsequent Saturday seminar were co-sponsored by the California Institute of Integral Studies; Center for Islamic Studies; Graduate Theological Union; Congregation Sherith Israel; Islamic Networks Group; and United Religions Initiative.

The two-hour lecture will be broadcast on KWMR, Community Radio for West Marin, at 90.5 FM in Point Reyes Station and 89.7 FM in Bolinas in two one-hour segments. The schedule is as follows: the first hour, "Spirit and Mind," will air on Tuesday, February 26, 1:00 – 2:00 pm, and the second hour, "Attunement," will air on Thursday, February 28, 12:00 – 1:00 pm.

The KWMR Bolinas signal can be picked up in San Francisco's Sunset district and in Pacifica at 89.7 FM. The broadcast is also available at http://www.kwmr.org/ as a live Web broadcast.
