None
Contemplative conversations about the journey to God through prayer, struggle, and divine illumination. For two thousand years, the saints and sages of the Christian East have exemplified the path to union with God in Christ — the "narrow way" by which, in the words of the Apostle Peter, we may become "partakers of the divine nature." But how do we walk this path? How do we kindle desire for this divine life in the midst of the din and distraction of the world around us? Can one one truly become aflame with love for God and neighbor, while engrossed in the banality and busy-ness of the everyday? Join us as we discuss these and other burning questions about the joys and struggles of the prayerful life.
