Secular vs Sacred - Part 2, Spaces - 025

In this second installment of the secular vs sacred, hosts Jeff, Mona and Allen discuss "spaces.”  They explore what makes a certain location more or less sacred than another.  This weeks episode is wrapped up with a segment called Dinner Party.  Each of our hosts share three people they would have over to a dinner party and why.
