Episode 2.
Nathan and I talk about how they celebrate and integrate all the messy complicated parts of their religious, personal and professional life. From a Roman Catholic family to a Master of Divinity from Boston University, to Spiritual Director at Still Harbor, and that's just part of the story. Combining his trans and queer identity to providing spiritual accompaniment as a witch, elements of his Christian upbringing remain, an acknowledgement that you can leave the church but it never leaves you completely.

Religion and faith are important for millions of people worldwide. While ancient traditions can provide important beliefs and values for life, it can be hard to apply them to our lives today. And…
In Living Our Beliefs, we delve into where and how Jews, Christians, and Muslims express their faith each day––at work, at home, and in public––so that we can see the familiar and unfamiliar in new ways. Learning from other religions and denominations invites us to notice similarities and differences. Comparing beliefs and practices prompts us to be more curious and open to other people, reducing the natural challenge of encountering the Other. Every person’s life and religious practice is unique. Join us on this journey of discovery and reflection.
