Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Life is for Interaction
Q: What meaning does the language of sin, including original sin, have for you within your morphic-resonance framework and its implications for virtue and habit?
He suggests viewing sin as separation—from God and from others—rather than as a purely moral code, and connects this with habitual patterns. He discusses the seven deadly sins as habit-forming tendencies reinforced by modern culture, and argues for virtue as positive habits that can be cultivated to counteract harmful patterns.
Life is for Interaction
Q: So I'm actually gonna start with a question I didn't plan to ask until just a moment ago, which is a question about Lent. What do you make of Lent personally and how should theologians and pastors approach it?
Rupert describes Lent as a practical time for breaking habits and for consciously engaging in disciplines like giving up certain pleasures and taking up reading poetry. He also shares how his own practice evolved through experiences in India and engagement with different Christian traditions, highlighting Lent as an opportunity to foster community, reflection, and a broadened spiritual imagination.
I Must Turn Aside
Q: Do you remember your first experience of the prophetic, either hearing it or speaking it?
Bishop Mark describes his first experience at 19, where he had a dramatic encounter with Jesus and began to speak prophetically during prayer meetings.
And Say it with a Steady, Even Voice
Q: Did you ever consider a call to the priesthood?
Dr. Hart reflects on how he briefly contemplated a call to the priesthood after his conversion to Catholicism but ultimately felt that his calling was more aligned with teaching and writing.
