St. Patrick's and St. John the Divine: Modern American Cathedrals in the European Tradition During a recent visit to New York I sought out a few modern urban sanctuaries: the Cathedrals of St.Patrick's and St. John the Divine on the island of Manhattan. I also try and find a different kind of "island in the stream" - searching for some stillness in the midst of a bustling JFK airport.Recorded on location in NYC and edited on a west-bound plane somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. Apologies: the sound for today's show is substandard.http://www.saintpatrickscathedral.org/ http://www.stjohndivine.org/ My flickr photostream of NYC can be seen here .Music for today's show is from 1000: A Mass for the End of Time --------------------------------------------------------------------© 2007 Greg Roach.

We return to Egypt to listen to a remarkable, heart-felt expression of love for the divine. We revisit one of my favorite places, experiences and people:"This is the first in a series of shows recorded on location throughout Egypt! Our guide and friend Emil Shaker takes us to meet the Imam of the Ar Rifai Mosque (also called the Mosque of the Snakes or the Mosque of the Healers). The Imam, a sufi master, takes us into the Royal Tombs (Khedive Ismail, King Farouk), turns off the lights and sings in Arabic. Amazing and moving."Recorded live at the Mosque of the Healers in Cairo during our February 2007 pilgrimage. --------------------------------------------------------------------© 2007 Greg Roach.
