Rabbi Mark is joined
by Ukrainian Christian Volodymyr Grinchenko. He talks about how he
grew up in a secular Jewish family in Southern Ukraine but was
converted by missionaries which led him on a path to come to
America and obtain a a master's degree in practical theology and a
doctorate in pastoral psychotherapy.
Together they wrestle with the idea of the concept of evil and
why a creator would allow murder and atrocities in the world. On
that note, Volodymyr speaks on his family's current struggles
living in Ukraine during wartime and how spiritual people should
react to war. He covers a number of topics relating to Ukrainian
society and religious matters like the topic of religious freedoms
in Ukraine and anti-semitism in Ukraine.
They end their discussion on Christmas and what is the spirit
of Christmas and how to keep it alive.
