My guest this week is Abbot Tryphon of the Monastery of the All-Merciful Saviour. Abbot Tryphon has a very colorful and winding history, and it ultimately led him to the monastic life. In this conversation, he details his days in the Socialist Workers Party, his hippie days, his time as a psychologist, and then his calling to follow Christ.
