What was most helpful was to understand that the role of the contemplative life is “to add to the soul of the world” and that to nourish oneself is the best way to nourish the world. I just got on you site and am looking forward to listening to more of your programs. Thank you for this insightful podcast!

Shirley's podcasts are conversations, discussions. They identify shared values among people of different faiths. What a refreshing atmosphere for intelligent people of faith to come together and not try to convert the other, or insist one is superior to the other. To come together with respect and love, and a willingness to listen with one's heart is a tremendous achievement. Thank you Shirley, and to your guests too.
