The Sun Lilies as a Radical Counterculture in Eastern Orthodoxy
The podcast discusses a book called 'The Sun Lilies' by Graham Parton, which explores Eastern Orthodoxy as a radical counterculture. The book emphasizes the importance of rebuilding individual lives through Orthodoxy rather than focusing on societal changes. It suggests that Orthodoxy offers a challenge to the culture's nihilism by getting back to our roots. The author highlights the significance of the Sabbath of the Heart, which focuses on prayer, and encourages wakefulness, surrender, and unity of breath as key aspects of participation in the cosmic liturgy. The book also delves into the role of iconography in Orthodoxy, highlighting the interconnectedness of all things and the sacredness of nature.
