Intersection: Protecting Schools, Remembering Billy Graham & The Handpan

intersection-3000x3000-itunes

As funerals are held for the 17 people killed in the Parkland school shooting, students march on Tallahassee demanding a law change.

But where some are calling for a ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines, the shooting has prompted a different response from others. Some law enforcement officers say it’s time to arm and train teachers to respond to a shooter.

Then, America’s most influential evangelical preacher, Billy Graham, died Wednesday at the age of 99. Religion writer Mark Pinsky reflects on his impact on the sacred- and the secular- in American life.

And, it looks like a UFO and sounds otherworldly. Hear the music of the handpan.
