What is a Priest? Episode 3: Offering and Receiving Blessing at the Shoreline Between Worlds

4.1.2021 - In this episode of The Light in Every Thing, Jonah and Patrick continue to unpack their question, "What is a Priest?"  Two central elements have now emerged in the conversations: the activities of offering and of blessing. In this episode Patrick and Jonah deepen this picture by asking about each of these ‘gifts’, exploring the ways in which a priest works between the two worlds of heaven and earth.  But why make an offering in the first place? After exploring this question, the conversation ends on a forward-looking image of the Priest cultivating a consecrated city, as opposed to a backward-looking hope of returning to the Garden of Eden.
