The God Squad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The God Squad is a television program featuring Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Tom Hartman, discussing issues related to religion.[1] The program is produced at Telecare, the studios of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre on New York's Long Island.[1]

As The God Squad, the two clergymen have made recurring appearances on Good Morning America since 1995, addressing issues of religion and spirituality.[2][3] They had also appeared on Imus in the Morning.[1] The pair were featured as animated characters in an HBO special based on their children's book, How Do You Spell God?: Answers to the Big Questions From Around the World.[4] The book was recognized with the Christopher Award in 1991.[3]

Hartman celebrates Mass at St. Vincent de Paul in Elmont, New York. Gellman is rabbi at Temple Beth Torah in Dix Hills, New York.[1]
