Bob Bruttell, Vice-Chairman, hosts the InterFaith Leadership Council’s 15th Faith & Works podcast
Have we abandoned sacredness today? This podcast, “How Do You Define What is Sacred in our World Today?” explores how we know something is sacred. Many faith traditions hold things to be sacred, but as a society, how do we identify what things are deemed sacred today? “The present we are living in right now feels like a historical pattern wherein America is not able to identify what is sacred. Have we abandoned sacredness?” asks Bruttell.
Is there a way to infuse the sacred into the mundane? Janet Torreano Pound responds, “It isn’t about doing great things; it’s about doing small things with great love.” The simple actions in your day-to-day life can seem mundane, but they are little actions done with great love. Bringing positivity into those small things is God working through you. “God’s Grace is like the oxygen in the atmosphere; it is always there” adds Nasy Sankagiri. Positivity. Recognizing the presence of grace in our lives. These are sacred today.
Listen in as we discuss what is sacred. How do you define it, and how do you know it when you see it? Send your comments to faithandworkspodcast@gmail.com
