Then, Mitchell interviews renowned author, scientist and former monk, leader of the inter-spiritual Movement, Kurt Johnson.   Kurt is well known internationally as a scientist, comparative religionist, social activist and former monastic. With a PhD in evolution, ecology, systematics, and comparative biology plus extensive training in comparative religion and philosophy, he was associated professionally for twenty years with the American Museum of Natural History and also the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary in New York City. Ordained in three spiritual traditions, he is widely regarded as the closest associate of Brother Wayne Teasdale, the founder of the modern “interspiritual movement,” and works also with the international Contemplative Alliance and Father Thomas Keating, founder of the Centering Prayer Movement. In science, Darwin's 'survival of the fittest' will be de-bunked this evening and a more elegant, evolutionary tapestry of what is biologically accurate and spiritually possible will be offered, asserted and mapped for general consideration. Kurt has been a guest on A Better World Radio several times over the years, back in the days of A Better World on Progressive Radio Network and since. Mitchell and Kurt serve on the Board of Directors of FIONS, Friends of the Institute of Noetic Sciences in NYC and have multiple weavings of pioneering activity together in the inter-spiritual and sacred activism space.
