Roadmap to the Apocalypse: A Quaker Guide to the End of Our World with Doug Gwyn
Manage episode 478569544 series 3470798
Are we living through apocalyptic times? If so, how can we navigate this time of turmoil and come out on the other end with a society more whole, more just, and more guided by love? Quakers may have (part of) the answer.
Quaker author and retired pastor, Doug Gwyn joins Jon Watts to explore how the "apocalyptic spirituality" of early Friends offers profound wisdom for navigating our own era of upheaval. From the nonviolent "Lamb's War" of the 1650’s to the direct action of the 1960’s, and right up until today, he leads us to a vision of a grassroots spiritual and cultural revolution against alienation and injustice.
