Easter and the Earth - The Road to Emmaus: Episode 26 [Replay]

A letter from a listener:

“Hi Jonah and Patrick,

It took me three days to listen to this episode, this I am behind the flow. But between my listening times, I was in my garden for many hours, and I kept pondering the image of Christ as the gardener. What would this look like for myself as the gardener? What could I change in my gesture and activity as the gardener in my place on the earth to create a more Christ-like presence? How is Christ  in me when I am gardening? And so I planted, tended, pondered and then came back to the second half of this day’s conversation to discover how aligned your sharing was with my questions.

And I also thought of Marko Pogachnik and his work. Jonah’s story of the moment in Nova Scotia brought me back to that.

Thank you - each day I think this is the most powerful episode, and then the next day comes, and... together we reach even a higher place as the substance grows. Wow!

- Susan Weber”

We hope you all have had a beautiful Easter, no matter what outer limitations our world may have given it, and that you might enjoy this episode from Easter 2020. 

We will be back with a new episode in a week.

It's Tuesday, May 12th and Jonah and Patrick take up the wonderful question from a listener about the 'paradigm shift' that seems to be taking place that many authors and activists in the environmental movement have been speaking about. Are we Christians still too focused on the human being, to 'Anthropocentric'?  Is not that exactly what causes such harm to the earth? Ought we not recover the so called, 'indigenous' cultures and their consciousness of the earth? Jonah shares a special story from a visit to Nova Scotia to explore the 'Christ' way of approaching this. Come along!

Our thanks to Elliott Chamberlin who composed the opening music, "Seeking Together", and to Nathaniel and Abigail for the song, "By the Mark" at the end of the episode. Thanks, not least, to Jeana Lee, for her increasing patience with all things digital!
