What We Will Abide

I attended Friday afternoon services at the Islamic Community Center of Lancaster, where Shaykh Walead Mosaad gave the weekly sermon ( Khutbah ) about –what else– the election of 2016.

Zach Mann returns in a short that serves as an impressionistic version of a protracted dialogue pitting seemingly antagonistic worldviews against one another. But it’s really so much more complicated than that. Music by Bob Fenster . http://samschindler.com/wp-c...

Born in 1940 in the Bronx, my father, Albert Schindler, has led what in many ways is a very good life. He is a professional, a father to two children and, though he might sometimes claim otherwise, a generally happy guy. Since my teenage years, I’ve tried to fully uncover the mark the war left on him. Though not overtly traumatic in ways that it was for many, many veterans of it, what my fat...

On Saturday, October 1, I attended a Donald Trump rally in Manheim, PA, and asked people why they were so enamored of the candidate. http://samschindler.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/WWWA_015_100916.mp3 DOWNLOAD  this episode SUBSCRIBE to this podcast Hosted on Acast.

Kevin Ressler serves as the Executive Director for Meals on Wheels in Lancaster, but he does a lot more than that.

Her older sister Paige, a college student, adds her own insights in this conversation about carving out space for oft-unheard...

A vigil was held in the center of Lancaster city this past Tuesday night. It was meant to demonstrate solidarity with the now well-publicized Standing Rock Sioux oil pipeline protest and spread awareness about Lancaster County’s own fight against a natural gas pipeline. There were “dozens” of people there – at least according to Fox43 news. I talked to a few of them, and tried to...
