In today's episode of Encountering Silence, we visit co-host Cassidy Hall's new podcast, Contemplating Now: A Podcast Exploring the Intersection of Contemplation and Social Justice. Join us as we listen to wisdom from previous Encountering Silence guest, Therese Taylor-Stinson: spiritual director, author, and ordained deacon and elder in the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA).
In this very first Episode of
Contemplating Now, Cassidy Hall interviews previous guest of Encountering Silence,
Therese Taylor-Stinson in a conversation titled, "Everybody Can Be A Mystic."
“I think everybody can be a mystic… Mystic means you’re living with a certain amount of uncertainty.”
