Guests:

Sister Mary Scullion, director of Project Home in Philadelphia, Pa.

Reggie Gordon, executive director of Homeward in Richmond, Va.

Eleizer Segal, professor of religious studies at the University of Calgary; author of Ask Now of the Days that Are Past

Will Manley, city manager of Tempe, Ariz.
