Rowan Williams - Becoming Natural (N262)
Playback speed
The former Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams carries a lifelong love for the theology and practice of the Eastern Church. His recent book, Looking East in Winter gives a window into the beautiful contemplative practices of the Eastern tradition. In this conversation we explore the life of contemplation, political solidarity, simplicity, and "the natural process of becoming natural." After the interview, Nomad hosts David Blower and Nick Thorley ponder how Dr. Williams’ ideas might shape their own faith journey. Interview starts at 16m 32s Show Notes → Nomad is able to produce episodes like this one because a group of faithful listeners help us pay the bills.
