Common Era: Everything is Changing (S1 Episode 1)

Jul 02 2021, 01:51 PM

What does this current time of change mean for spiritual communities? How are the traditions that we call ‘home’ changing, along with our relationships to those traditions? Author and musician David Benjamin Blower, and Catholic priest Nicholas Postlethwaite – who belongs to the monastic order known as the Passionists – talk about their current spiritual worlds, the relationship between faith traditions and power, and what might happen when communities put that power aside.

Common Era: Spirituality in an Age of Change is a new short-run podcast series from Passionists. Find out more at commonerapodcast.com.
