Description

Pittman McGehee, D.D. speaks at the Paths to Healing Conference at Christ Church Cathedral in Houston, Texas on 1/27/01. He describes the relationship between body and soul as bodies ensouled. Speaking of St. Augustine who embraced the Manichean philosophy, and how our culture which is very Augustinian, (puritanical), believes that instinctuality is bad. St. Augustine believed in original sin and that somehow we should transcend our bodies (matter), unconsciously hating matter (denotes his mother complex). As spiritual beings trying to become human, nature is our Mother and our five senses are the way we experience the holy. This is not a great recording (due to age of cassette) but it’s a great talk so I am posting it anyway. Enjoy
