Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
For many of us, there is nothing further from our reality than the image of monks and monestaries. In a world where cell phones often ring in church, the monastic life seems to belong to a different time. But not for William Claassen, a journalist who has spent years visiting the world’s monastic communities – and studying the silence. Join Claassen for a discussion of spirituality and contemplation.
Guests
- William Claassen Author of "Alone in Community: Journeys into Monastic Life Around the World" (Pub: Forest of Peace)
