In this episode you’re going to listen to the first talk of the series ‘A contemplative politician on Corona’ by Belgian politician Herman Van Rompoi This is part of the Contemplative Path Through the Crisis programme by WCCM. As John Dunn says: 'No man is an island'. That's the feeling most people have, we are living under the same legal umbrella, we have the same enemy, the virus, we share a common destiny. When you meet someone the other is someone who can infect you. That's part of our current climate. It's a time of slowness and a time for more opportunity and silence. Silence is the beginning to the way to God. Laurence Freeman guides us in conversation with Herman Van Rompuy in a Politician's Perspective on the Crisis.
