Drinking with Socrates podcast featured an interview with Reverend Elizabeth McQuitty! Click here for SoundCloud. We’re also on iTunes.
We discuss faith, love, and tackle the question on the compatibility of same-sex relationships in the context of religion. This was an absolute delight to record and I hope you enjoy the show!

If you are terrified of a caravan of people 1,000 miles away trekking north then I propose a challenge. Go for a ten mile walk today and reflect on how/why your family came to the United States. How is your life possible because of your family’s decision? When you end your walk and your feet ache take a moment to be grateful.
And if you think But I don’t have time to do a ten mile walk! I have duties at home, laundry to tend to, meals to prepare, Netflix to binge, catch up with work, plans with my family and my friends!
Well, then…let that sink in.
For my Philosophy 340 class, Current Debates in Sexuality, (also sometimes called Philosophy of Sex and Love), I gave the following assignment:
Find an article that has been written in the last two weeks with a reference/discussion about sexual assault. Bring this to class. I clarified that they needn’t agree with the article because the point was to examine how sexual assault is being presented in media.
Come class time the students had their articles, and I put them into groups of 3 and 4 to share with each other the content of the articles. The room immediately roared to life with their exchanges.
It turned out to be a good exercise. In terms of teaching methodology I enjoy when textbook theory can be highlighted and demonstrated in either fiction/film or current events. I don’t want my students to merely memorize an argument or a few definitions for the semester. Engagement and discussion is key to making material from courses one’s own.
I must confess, I was surprised that out of 40 students no one brought the same article.
