Christine Valters Paintner: Earth Our Original Monastery

06/18/20 • 71 min

This is the perfect conversation for a time of pandemic and quarantine. Christine invited us to explore how the monastic view embraces all of life—treasures and sorrows, cygnets and compost.

And oh, does our world need repairing, does it not!
