The ReMembering and ReEnchanting Podcast
Conversations
Conversations with amazing people connecting what is all too often disconnected
We dialogue with Professor Mark Wallace (Swarthmore College, PhD from U. Chicago) about his recent eco-theological book, "When God was a Bird: Christianity, Animism, and the ReEnchantment of the World."
It is a beautiful exploration of viewing the Bible not only through "green" eyes but through an "animist" lens.
We cover:
God did not only "enflesh" (Him/Her)Self, but S/he "enfeathered" Themselves
The queer, animist nature of the Genesis Creation story
The Serpent God told the Hebrew People to look at for healing
Jesus working in 'shamanistic' ways when he works with the highly potent dust/earth at his feet to perform his healings
The Fluidity of the Divine
And wonder at the extent to which it is time to lay to rest some of the divisions between "animist" practices and the Judeo-Christian tradition that has caused so much riff over the years.
It's a bit long, but I hope you find it is worth the time it takes to listen to it!
