Mark Townsend and the Journey of a ”Heretic” Priest

In this episode we have a conversation with the Reverend Mark Townsend to learn about his spiritual journey, and our differing understandings and approaches to understanding the meaning of Jesus, the Cosmic Christ, and multifaith engagement. A former clergyman in the Church of England, Mark now leads his own inclusive and ecumenical ministry that nourishes a strong appreciation for the diversity of faith beyond Christianity, ,and which strives to honor the divine in all peoples, regardless of their faith, culture, sexuality or background. He is a member of the Association of Independent Celebrants, in addition to being a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Mark has been featured on the BBC and several other news programs throughout Britain. He is the author of several books, including The Gospel of Falling Down, Diary of a Heretic, The Path of the Blue Raven, and Jesus Through Pagan Eyes.

In this podcast we also discuss my edited book Beyond the Burning Times: A Christian and Pagan in Dialogue.
