The Glenmary Unity podcast seeks to enhance understanding, reduce alienation and foster reconciliation between Catholics and those within the Evangelical and Pentecostal streams of Christianity. Today I speak with Bruce Tallman about his new book "God's Ecstatic Love", which is an updated engagement with the spiritual classic by St. Francis de Sales "Treatise on the Love of God". We also discuss Bruce's extensive background in the ministry of spiritual direction and how this may impact and edify the work of ecumenism.

Today's episode is a conversation. Much like some dinner-table-ecumenical conversations this interview leaves many questions open and provides insight into the thought patterns of other Christians. Joining me within this broad ranging dialogue are Joshua Lennon (Pastor, Red Door Church), Denis Beausejour (Retired Pastor, Mariemont Community Church) and Fr. Aaron Wessman (Vicar General, Glenmary Home Missioners). Our hope in this dialogue was to model what happens quite naturally in many settings in which Christians meet together and begin to ask questions.
