Don't Go Back to Babylon

Don’t Go Back to Babylon - S7E7 Friend of the show & Iconograhper Nick Papas is once again our most welcome guest for this conversation, which will be presented in two parts, the second of which will be episode eight.Our previous discussion about Independence Day having individual meaning for Jim & Fr Symeon got Jim to thinking about how much this actually inverts the purpose of public holidays. This lack of unity as a country reminded him of an increasingly popular turn of phrase in our culture "my tribe" & his concern this trend is stark evidence we are choosing to become less civilized.The actual conversation focuses on Fr Symeon's turn of phrase "Community As Babel Versus Communion at Pentecost".Tune in here in two weeks for the second half of the discussion!Scripture citations for this episode: - Tower of Babel   - Genesis 11 - Pentecost   - Acts 2The Christian Saints Podcast is a joint production of Generative sounds & Paradosis Pavilion.
