Exploring the second part of C. S. Lewis' 1940 essay "Dangers of National Repentance." This time David helps us think through what we should do about collective guilt, the difference between repentance and penitence, looking at others with charity. We also consider what the sins of our own age might be — what is the long in our own eye?

Consider attending the ⁠Common Roots Conference⁠ June 8-10, 2023, put on by David at the Robert E. Webber Center.

Check out ⁠Rev. Dr. David Ney's⁠ writing at ⁠The Covenant Blog⁠, or in his books, ⁠All Thy Lights Combine⁠, and ⁠The Quest to Save the Old Testament⁠.

The music for this episode is a song called "Collect for Lent," performed by David Stroeve, composed by Jordan Duncan and David Stroeve, from the Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent from the Episcopal Prayer Book. David Stroeve's album ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Cathedral Project,⁠⁠⁠⁠ is on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, and Apple Music. See especially "The Jesus Prayer," and "God of Mercy" as excellent meditative worship songs for Lent.
