What does it mean to use language today? \u2014 in a time of pandemic, in the latest racist decade of a racist era, in a time where truth is questioned and language is fake if it\u2019s labelled fake. Taking an approach from his memoir&nbsp;<em>In the Shelter<\/em>, P\u00e1draig \u00d3 Tuama will explore the power of language; power to harm and power to heal, and consider that power in conversation both with story and time. How do we tell stories about the times we are in? How long do we imagine the times we are in will be the times we are in? How do we speak today in order to consider new stories?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in the shelter of each other that the people live. Drawing on this Irish saying, poet, storyteller and theologian&nbsp;P\u00e1draig \u00d3 Tuama&nbsp;relates ideas of shelter and welcome to journeys of life, using poetry, story, biblical reflection and prose to open up gentle ways of living well in a troubled world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/09\/30161315\/2020-09-16-EMU-convocation-padraig.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"emu-podcast-embed\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/emu-wordpress-multisite-instance-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/09\/30161315\/2020-09-16-EMU-convocation-padraig.mp3\"><\/audio><\/div><p>In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World Hello to Language.
