Desert Fathers 27

Once again, Jamie and I gather to address questions raised by people who follow the series, questions that impress us by their insight and sincerity. Some of the matters we consider are these:

Why may anger be a more fundamental sin than lust?

What does it mean to speak of redemption as somehow communal?

How might one endure persistent temptation without despair?

How can a life of radical prayer be at one with solidarity for all mankind?

You can watch the episode here, or find it as a podcast where you like to listen to such things.
