Noel Moules - Creation as Incarnation: A Christian Animist Perspective (N335)

In this special devotional episode, anabaptist, anarchist and animist Noel Moules explores the profound mystery of incarnation from his unique perspective as a Christian animist. He considers the interconnectedness of all things—seeing the sacredness in both creation and spirit, and how personhood extends beyond humanity to the entire cosmos. Noel reflects on how Jesus' life exemplifies this mystery, offering a vision of restoration and hope. Noel invites us to reconsider the divine presence in every aspect of reality and challenges us to deepen our relationship with the world around us. Following Noel’s reflection, Anna Robinson creates a contemplative space for us to reflect on and experience this incarnational understanding of spirituality. All this is beautifully woven together with the music of Jon Bilbrough, known musically as Wilderthorn.  Books, quotes, links → The creation of Nomad’s thoughtful, ad-free content is entirely funded by our equally thoughtful and wonderful listeners.
