IEC 2018 Brother Brother David Steindl-Rast: Integral Christianity and Universal Spirituality

IEC 2018 Brother David Steindl-Rast: Integral Christianity and Universal Spirituality Europe’s culture has been strongly influenced by a Christianity that is now in crisis — as is also European culture. With the help of Ken Wilber’s thought models, Brother David will explore both the current crises and potential ways of overcoming them. In view of the close connection between Europe and Christianity, it is not only Christians whom this exploration concerns, but all who care for Europe’s future.
