Send us a textEpisode 83 In this episode, Jenny describes being involved in the work of building peace, after years of conflict in a Pacific island country. She reflects on the culture she found there, in which listening, not speaking, was fundamental. She contrasts this experience with the learning we need to do in the West, to try to become a synodal Church. While ‘Prayer and openly talking about God all the time was part of the culture,’ and ‘People in the Pacific make no contribution to the climate crisis,’ Jenny shares honestly about the time and hard work it takes to heal and rebuild structures and relationships after conflict.New All Kinds of Catholic newsletter sign up: allkindsofcatholic.substack.comPope Leo's World Peace Day messageA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] Subscribe to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic Community: Click here On Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicFind episode transcripts: https://kindsofcatholic.buzzsprout.com The podcast is kindly supported by the Passionists of St Patrick's Province, Ireland & Britain and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com

Send us a textEpisode 82 Special Christmas episode: a conversation and Christmas carols. Anne and Mark share their thoughts and experiences of angels. Mark reminds us that angels are both with us and in the presence of God, ‘They’re here and they’re there at the same time.’ Seeing an image carved on a tomb years ago taught Anne to think of angels, not ‘like a fairy with pretty wings,’ but as ‘fierce’ and ‘protective.’ Thanks to Elizabeth, of Episode 21, for sharing her beautiful Christmas carol-singing.New All Kinds of Catholic newsletter sign up: allkindsofcatholic.substack.comA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] Subscribe to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic Community: Click here On Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicFind episode transcripts: https://kindsofcatholic.buzzsprout.com The podcast is kindly supported by the Passionists of St Patrick's Province, Ireland & Britain and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com
