Light on Darkness, with Cosima Clara Gillhammer
Monday, 22 December, 2025

Drawing on insights from her new book, Light on Darkness: The Untold Story of the Liturgy, this conversation explores how Christian liturgy — in many senses the soil of the Western imagination — invites us to renew our participation in the story of Christ.Find the companion website for Cosima's book here.We apologize for the sheer profusion of Tolkien allusions in this episode.
