Episode 83 In this episode, Jenny describes being involved in the work of building peace, after years of conflict in a Pacific island country. She reflects on the culture she found there, in which listening, not speaking, was fundamental. She contrasts this experience with the learning we need to do in the West, to try to become a synodal Church. While ‘Prayer and openly talking about God all the time was part of the culture,’ and ‘People in the Pacific make no contribution to the climate crisis,’ Jenny shares honestly about the time and hard work it takes to heal and rebuild structures and relationships after conflict.
