Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left

It's the final installment in our season-long exploration of aspects of the divine! Throughout this season, Reverend Sarah and Reverend Peggy have deeply contemplated and discussed the possibilities of the divine and humans' relationship to it. Today we discuss our motivation for embarking on this season-long project and the lessons we've taken away as these conversations have become part of our own spiritual practice. Over and over, we've returned to the idea that our conception of the divine affects how we relate to others and to our environment. A vision of the divine that includes messiness, imperfection, and continuous formation allows us to imagine grace for ourselves and others.

The divine is discovered through human connection. We invite you to connect with us by emailing us at podcast@ccny.org to share thoughts on this season or ideas for what you'd like to hear in our next season, scheduled to begin this fall. Please stay tuned for a few special episodes over the summer!

What is Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left?

Hope & Heresy: Life on the Religious Left is a podcast for everyday people who want to live meaningfully without letting arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice prevent them from asking big questions about our complicated world. Hosts Reverend Peggy Clarke and Reverend Sarah Lenzi discuss a series of contemporary issues, using history and theology as their guides. The initial episodes of Hope & Heresy were recorded on-site at Community Church of New York, a Unitarian-Universalist congregation in Murray Hill, Manhattan.
