On this episode of Sunspots, we continue the series of Living in Liminal Space but expanding it from the church setting to a global context. Bridge Interim Synod Leader/Stated Clerk Steve Shive welcomes his twin brother Ronald Shive to the conversation. Ron is a Retired Presbyterian Minister and Owner of Spiritus Mundi Travel. Ron has been engaged with Israel/Palestine issue for the past 20 years in the PC(USA) and active in leading groups to the region. After delivering a report to the 2010 General Assembly as the chair of a Middle East Study Committee, Ron continues to be involved in the study of that region. You can find the documentation referenced in this Liminal Space episode HERE: https://www.synodsun.org/post/resources-from-the-israel-palestine-sunspots-episode-with-ron-shiveYou can also read Steve Shive's article about his recent visit to Israel/Palestine HERE: https://www.synodsun.org/post/crying-all-the-wayYou can watch the video of this conversation on our YouTube channel or listen to the audio on our Sunspots podcast.

The Good Brothers are back home safe and sound int the DCAU-proper after a brief multiversal anomaly in last week's episode, with another review of Static Shock and this week's season 2 episode "Sunspots." The hosts break down a plot that feels like two separate ideas melded together with a less than stellar result. Cal & Liam also talk about the very Disney-fied animation from this week's animation studio, and a voice cast that has guest stars noticeably absent. The hosts also discuss the purpose/need for "Zap-caps", Cal comes to grips with the Static style of music and much more fun all on this week's DCAU Review!
