The Tao, Suffering & Religious Education with Corey Farr
An interview with Corey Farr, creator and host of the podcast A Christian Reads the Tao Te Ching. We discuss our favorite and least favorite chapters of the Tao Te Ching. We explore karma, providence, orphanages, and religious education. Farr is a seminary graduate, a Christian Anarchist, a writer, a poet and songwriter. He teaches at a residential school for Syrian refugees in Lebanon, and can be followed at coreyfarr.com. We were privileged to get a chance to talk with this wise student of Lao Tzu from a Christian vantage point.
If you have been wondering if there might be others with a Christian background who have been engaging with Lao Tzu, this is a helpful additional perspective. We were honored to have Corey join us.
