Claire Gilbert - Letters on Dying and Living (N260)
Playback speed
Claire Gilbert is a theologian, writer, and founding director of Westminster Abbey Institute. When she discovered that she had Myeloma - terminal cancer in the blood - she began her way by writing letters to a circle of trusted friends. The journey drew her home to nature, to her body, and to her long love for the mystic, Julian of Norwich. The letters are now published in the book Miles to Go Before I Sleep. After the interview, Nomad hosts Tim Nash and David Blower chat about how Claire’s experiences might inform their own faith journeys. Interview starts at 16m 15s Show Notes → Nomad is able to produce episodes like this one because a group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
