Sam and Alijah meet in person in the empty Thomas Building, Room 100 to have a different form of Office Hours. They talk about a wide range of issues, but do circle back to talking about multiple religious perspectives and how people find value in each one. There are audio issues for the first 5 minutes, and sometimes the audio cuts off because of the gate on the microphones. We tried to boost the audio in post -- our apologies.Learn more about the class: https://www.soc119.org/liveWatch live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/soc119/live
