The Voice of the Lord

If God were a musical instrument, what would it sound like? Sound & Spirit explores how religious traditions from around the world have heard divinity speak--in the blare of a trumpet, through the beat of a drum, in the sounds of a single flute or of a symphony orchestra, or in the silence, after sound has stopped. Host Ellen Kushner speaks with Quaker minister Cathy Whitmire about hearing God in silence. Join Ellen and listen for the voice of divinity in Brazilian bullroarers, the eerie call of the shofar, Mahalia Jackson's singing about the creative power of "His Word" and Bob Franke's song, "A Still, Small Voice."
