Pride appears across Biblical stories as one of the most dangerous sins; even angels are not immune. Likewise in our world pride can lead us into a tunnel vision, blind to others. One morning in Medieval Italy, a young man named Francis would take an act of humility that would change himself, his community, and his culture forever. This change lives in each of us; beautifully, mystically illustrated by one monk's vision of a fallen angel's empty throne, and the humble sinner who sits in its place.
Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
