@_MaryJohnson @SamHarrisOrg @Yolanda95139520 I read Hope Endures: My Story of Losing Faith, Leaving Mother Teresa, and Finding My Purpose by a fellow Australian Colette Livermore 5 or 6 years ago. I was left with the impression that dogma had stripped the humane from their humanity.

I loved talking with you, @michelleinbklyn. I'm so glad you love The Turning podcast and that you thought and wrote so deeply about the questions it raises. Thanks!

@19Paul80 @SamHarrisOrg The Turning podcast tells the stories of women who knew Mother Teresa and lived in her order for many years. you might want to check it out: maryjohnson.co/podcast

@SamHarrisOrg Why - what's gone on like?

@MAlanWeeks @SamHarrisOrg The podcast is also a really good indication of what it was like while she was there. These are stories of women who knew her and belonged to her order for decades before they left.

@mitch_clemons @SamHarrisOrg The podcast doesn't demonize Mother Teresa. It tells the stories of those who knew her, loved her, and tried their best to follow her.

@SamHarrisOrg Some of you apply the term cult very loosely, particularly to groups you disagree with. I'm no Catholic by any stretch of the imagination, but to attempt to demonize a woman, who while not perfect, spent her life helping those most in need is what is "sinister".

@SamHarrisOrg Thanks so much for posting this story about my podcast! The folks at @RococoPunch have done such a great job putting it together!

A fascinating new podcast featuring nuns who served as Missionaries of Charity alongside #MotherTeresa--and later left the order. Inspired by @_MaryJohnson's remarkable memoir AN UNQUENCHABLE THIRST... Out *today* from @iHeartRadio & @RococoPunch apple.co/2QwhZT6

I've never had an episode from my life animated before! See this Insta video by @rococopunch instagram.com/p/CPHMhOsl5n7/… #TheTurning

@gregmepstein Way to go, @gregmepstein. Can't wait to read that book you're writing!

After tying up as many loose ends as I could from this bizarre academic year, I am now on a 3 month sabbatical to work on my book project about technology, religion, and humanism!

Loved my discussion with NYT's @michelleinbklyn about new podcast #TheTurning. Goldberg calls The Turning both compelling and fascinating. Was Mother Teresa a cult leader? nytimes.com/2021/05/21/opi…

"Perhaps the biggest indicator of chaplaincy’s centrality to the spiritual needs of America is the arrival of humanist chaplains, who don’t believe in a higher power or deity, but instead aspire to contribute to “humanity’s greater good.” Well...thank you! vice.com/en/article/epn…

Feeling like a 60+ yr old rock star: @RollingStone announces ‘The Turning’ Podcast, quoting but not naming me. Give me my moment, folks. Check out the trailer. rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…

Your Intersectionality is Too Small: “What if, instead of arousing our moral machinery to defend inverting pecking orders, we worked to stop pecking?” Real wisdom from Valerie Tarico. Read it! valerietarico.com/2021/03/26/you…

So excited! I just bought tickets to Rebecca Carroll - Tuesday, February 2 @ 7pm, at @MusicHall Not sure if @rebel19 will remember me -- we met in NM at AROHO Retreat in 2000. themusichall.secure.force.com/ticket?eventIn…

I’ll never forget @joshua_w_gelb’s interpretation of Mother Teresa. Can’t wait to watch & rewatch. Every morning we used to pray: “Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus.” Momma T may have thought of herself as Jesus in drag. Just sayin... #TheaterinQuarantine

@EverymanAgency @hcarbornauts @joshua_w_gelb Loved it tonight. I knew Mother Teresa, was one of her nuns for 20 years. You captured so many of the contradictions. Thank you, @hcarbornauts. Any chance you might share any part of the marvelous libretto? I’d love to ponder it....

Theater in Quarantine returns on Monday w/ the premiere of @hcarbornauts’s I AM SENDING YOU THE SACRED FACE, an expressionist musical portrait of Mother Teresa performed live by @joshua_w_gelb in drag. Check out this teaser. youtu.be/mcoSY-GiE1k

@gregmepstein @Harvard @MIT @StayingHumanPod Can’t wait for this!

Big day. In mid-March, as campus shut down @Harvard & @MIT, I started work on @StayingHumanPod. Just finished recording a pilot that felt more like a movie than a podcast episode, to create. The LOVE we've put in. Still a few miles to go before we can share, but I'm so thankful.

Love the new “Moment” feature on the Waking Up meditation app. Thanks @SamHarrisOrg! Wakes me up - gently - a little more each day.
