On Holy Ground

On Holy Ground’ the podcast dedicated to learning through encounter. It is based on the premise that in all of our dialogues we are able to learn more about others, and also about ourselves. It utilises the idea that the space between us is holy ground, with all of encounters being potentially transformative. Each episode will seek to highlight the diversity of beliefs we find in the world, and how we learn through an open, honest and respectful discussion.
