110 - Retreat, Retrieve, and Return

from The Commentary Hosted by Laurie Bertrand

If we’re going to restore what is lost in our world, first we may need to withdraw from the skirmish and go in search of it ourselves. We retreat in order to accomplish the retrieval, always with a mind to return to the world for the restorative work. In this episode, Mark and Cameron talk about the pros and cons of the way contemporary authors have explored “options” for this task from the ancient practice of monasticism. Mentioned in this episode: “A Wild Christianity,” by Paul Kingsnorth (First Things) How the Irish Saved Civilization, by Thomas Cahill
