Just kidding. I did read the book, and it was very good.

I would point out that he is doing this at Washington National Cathedral, which is both an Episcopal cathedral, and is often represented as our national church building at important symbolic times. Presidents are eulogized in this exact spot.

I have attended many services here. His lecture, and many like it, are sponsored by the Cathedral. I saw a wonderful talk on the Persian poet Rumi here by one of the world's great experts on him, at this location.

It is a fabulous building to see anything in.
