Back to EpisodesANOTHER BONUS - Father Len Cowan: Discovering a Rooted Faith from the Irish
Description
Father Len Cowan is a retired priest in the Anglican and Episcopal Churches. Today he runs the Abbey of the Way, a retreat center in Worcester, MA. Learn more about the Abbey here: https://www.abbeyoftheway.us/
In this season five bonus episode, Len shares with us his fascination with the Irish and how he returns to Ireland regularly to learn of the life of St. Patrick and the unique form of Christianity that took root there.
Len shares what a rooted Christianity looks like and encourages us to adopt practices to form our vision of God, and shape our character as we learn to bless those who live around us. As in the life of St. Patrick, he calls us to make things better where we live and take on the posture of learning to look for God vs. thinking we are bringing him somewhere that he is not.
This is the last of the Rooted Life series. Stay tuned for Season 6, coming in a few weeks on what Indigenous Wisdom Can Teach Us Today.
