Welcome to Madang!  Madang is the outdoor living room of the world. Here, we invite you to sit and tune into unreserved, remarkable conversations with renown authors, leaders, public figures and scholars on religion, culture and everything in-between.  This has been a dream of mine for many years and now it is. reality. Please join me at Madang.   This is the thirteenth episode of Madang where I converse with Chris Smith.   C. Christopher Smith is Senior Editor of The Englewood Review of Books, and author of several books, including most recently How The Body of Christ Talks: Recovering the Practice of Conversation in the Church. In addition to writing and editing, Chris works with churches across North America, helping them cultivate a deeper life together in their places.   Conversations on Chris Smith shares about the Englewood Review of Books, the body of Christ, spirituality for the journey, prayer, and the messiness of life and his book, How the Body of Christ Talks and so much more. I am thrilled to announce that Madang podcast is now hosted by The Christian Magazine. Please visit their website for the latest Madang podcast as well as current articles on Christianity, culture and society. I have written several pieces for the Christian Century and welcome this new partnership.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/grace-ji-sun-kim/support
