38. Gathering In

Podcast Transcript [https://www.ecologia.org/news/38.Gathering.pdf] (pdf) In November 2023, we (Randy Kritkausky and Carolyn Schmidt) invited four people from different Christian religious traditions to our house. We hoped that sharing a meal might provide an opportunity to further explore a range of interests that had previously been shared only over electronic media. Our wildest expectations were exceeded as life changing encounters unfolded before our eyes. Strangers who arrived at a dinner table left feeling that they had found soul mates. Or to use the phrase we heard many times over dinner and in numerous followup emails, we all became a band of travelers on a shared journey of discovery. This podcast is a snapshot in time of where we are now individually and collectively in that journey. It is our hope that capturing this moment in time, a virtual electronic regathering, may help others to find common ground so that we may all make progress toward healing our society and planet together.
