Episode 068: Blessed Are The Peacemakers with Padraig O’ Tuama
Hi Pilgrim,
Padraig O’ Tuama is a poet, storyteller, musician, and leader of the peace and reconciliation community called Corrymeela in Belfast Northern Ireland. Padraig discusses with me his journey as he navigates culture, faith, sexual orientation, and even his understanding of God with a religious structure often at odds. He shares the stories of how he learned to do so in a way that that brought peace to himself and those around him.
Go Beyond the Pale with Padraig O’Tuama
Buen camino,
Steve
