Keeping Faith, by Fenton Johnson
As gay man, growing up Catholic in the South, Fenton Johnson felt rejected by the church. He in turn rejected religion.
On an assignment as a journalist to a conference of Catholic and Buddhist monks, he decided to explore his resentments and went about researching the monastic life, talking to monks in both religions.
What follows is a thoughtful and thought provoking meditation on personal versus institutional spiritual experience and where one fits in in a place that seems to reject who one is.
Follow a fine mind and a contemplative writer, who holds you in the palm of his hand.
Narrated by the author.
