Orthodox Priest, Fr. Thomas Colyandro is the Retreat Director for Mother of God, Joy of All Who Sorrow Monastery in Monteagle, Tennessee. We talk about the need for silence in our distracted world, how the spiritual community we build online can impact our IRL community, and whether we really want to get back to normal.
