Sister Joan Chittister: Presence and Perpetual Goodness

The Sounds True Podcast Network. You're listening to Insights at the Edge. Today is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes. I hope you enjoy. Today is a broadcast of a very special conversation that I had at Mount Saint Benedict's Monastery in Erie, Pennsylvania, with a woman who is one of the most influential religious and social leaders of our time, a woman I greatly admire.

Sister Joan Chittister. This was recorded just as Sister Joan was approaching her eighty third birthday. Sister Joan Chittister is an American theologian, Benedictine nun, and the author of more than fifty books. For over forty years she has passionately advocated on behalf of peace, human rights, women's issues, and church renewal She has a way of being supremely down to earth and no nonsense.

I've read her weekly email newsletter for more than a decade now, and I always find it's a refreshing take on the grit and the true humility that the spiritual journey asks of each of us. What you're about to hear is an excerpt from a full length seven hour conversation series that Sister Joan and I recorded together at Mount Saint Benedict's. It's a series called Catching Fire Being Transformed, Becoming, Transforming, with the idea that listeners will indeed catch fire and Be transformed and become transforming through the listening experience.
