Comments

Mark, it was a warm and scintillating conversation among you, Emma and myself. We discovered a lot— such as our two-and-a-half Catholic childhoods, and the varied routes by which we arrived among Friends thereafter. I hope the podcast and the book can be helpful to listeners of many backgrounds find some sustenance and humor, resources which we’ll all need in the coming years.
And PS. Thanks for collecting and passing along a list of typos we missed in the book’s 550 pages. Nobody’s perfect, but we can fix them in the next printing. Keep up your interviews (and editing!)
