The Strange Gift of Joy with Rowan Williams
About this episode
Kate Bowler talks with Rowan Williams about the coexistence of joy and sorrow during Holy Week.
As Holy Week arrives, Kate talks with theologian, poet, and former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams about joy that doesn’t erase sorrow. Together they explore longing, grief, music, gratitude, hope, and the strange, defiant way joy can sit right beside pain without denying what’s true.
