The professor brought in this twenty-minute <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJMm4RAwVLo">video clip</a> of Karen Armstrong&#8217;s speech accepting one of the three <a href="http://www.ted.com/index.php/pages/view/id/144">2008 TED Prizes</a> &#8220;to change the world.&#8221;  I thought it was a nice introduction to some of her recent thinking on religion. </p>
