In this episode we speak with anabaptist, anarchist and Christian animist, Noel Moules. Christian and animism are perhaps two words you haven’t heard together before, in fact you may well think that animism sounds somewhat dodgy! Noel shows us though how Jesus himself held to this ancient indigenous worldview, where rather than matter and spirit being understood as dualistic opposites, the entire natural world is sentient, personable and alive. So we ask Noel how this revelation has changed the way he understands and relates to God. And how he loves his neighbour now his neighbour includes everything from birds to trees?! After the interview Nomad hosts Tim Nash and Nick Thorley reflect on how animism might shape their own evolving faith. Interview starts at 15m 16s If you want more from Nomad, check out our website, and follow us on Facebook and twitter.
