In my first in-person event for More Christ, Jonathan Pageau, Paul Kingsnorth, and Martin Shaw come together in Dublin for a day of transformative wonder tales and deep discussions.
Together with an audience, we wrestled with some major questions:
How can we understand the deep symbolism of the Christian story? What do the lives of the saints and the tales woven around them have to say to us today? Can the ancient roots of the faith, in Ireland and beyond, be rediscovered in a world desperate for spiritual truth? How should we live that truth?
On Saturday 3rd June, Dublin hosted a memorable conference on myth, symbolism, and the Christian story in the 21st century. Jonathan Pageau, Paul Kingsnorth, and Martin Shaw introduced a different Christian vocabulary, regaling an audience with Christian wonder tales, and laid out a vision that goes beyond the confines of modernity or cosy nostalgia.
Jonathan Pageau is an icon carver, symbologist, and public speaker. He is the host of the popular YouTube channel and podcast, The Symbolic World. Along with his brother, Matthieu, he is also the author of God's Dog, a graphic novel based on the epic legend of the dog-headed Saint Christopher.
Paul Kingsnorth is an English writer who lives in the west of Ireland. He is a former deputy editor of The Ecologist and co-founder of the Dark Mountain Project. He has written nine books, including the Booker-nominated novel The Wake and several collections of essays and poetry. He has taught and spoken across the world.
Martin Shaw is an award-winning storyteller, writer, and mythologist. He has toured internationally numerous times and created the Oral Tradition and Mythic Life courses at Stanford University. He lived in a tent for four years, exploring remaining areas of British wilderness. The Sunday Times describes his latest book Bardskull as "a full tilt gallop...clear water from a rushing spring"
Hosted by Marcas Connolly of YouTube's More Christ, this day was dedicated to exploring the myths and symbolic patterns that underlie our experience of the world, and how they can speak to us as we navigate modern culture.
Ultimately, we hope attendees went away transformed by the renewal of their minds, able to see the Christian story and the world around them in a newly invigorated light.
