S3:10 EP35:The Sacramental Imagination

What does it mean to have a sacramental worldview, to believe in the sacramental imagination? We'll explore the convergence of the physical and the spiritual, how our lives can gain deep meaning by marking time with an understanding of eternity. Katie shares a story of her own personal experience with the sacramental imagination, during a difficult start to Lent. We'll discuss Flannery O'Connor, the Secret Garden, Tolkien, Kristin Lavransdatter... 'Rebel against the dying of the light!' An encouraging episode, helping us to see the magic in the mundane, the wonder in the everyday - a chance to 'lift the veil' and see beyond.
