Brad Jersak
from A Pilgrimage of Unfolding Grace Hosted by Bradley Jersak
Alongside the shift from mono- to poly-culture as a norm in contemporary society comes the common story of drift from one room in the Christian household to another. It is becoming increasingly rare that someone is born into a particular faith tradition and stays there until they die. There is an increased awareness of the other ways of approaching faith within the Christian family, in part spurred by our recognition of one denomination's limitations in encapsulating the whole Christian faith, and often from a disillusionment in those limitations or potentially damaging beliefs and practices. Especially for those of us who have grown up in the Church, understanding our story as we move from one room to another helps us to sift through our spiritual inheritance, considering what beliefs and practices are worth holding onto and what requires we let go. Today's conversation is with Bradley Jersak, who is an author and teacher in the Orthodox tradition, living in Canada. He is currently the Dean of Theology and Culture at Saint Stephen's University. Brad's life and ministry testify to the importance of considering our faith journey as a story in which we can see the hand of God at work, as we learn to discern our calling.
