In this first episode, Edwin Counsell explores the legacy of Illtud, a renowned teacher in Celtic South Wales... and then visits the beach that was probably familiar to Illtud, 15 centuries ago. What does it mean to have that connection to a hero of the past, and mark it like a line in the sand? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
I'm Edwin Counsell and I'm trying to make some sense of life and the world at an uncertain time. “For Godsake!” is one of those expressions that can be said in so many ways, summing up the core of faith, the depth of despair or the frustration of a moment. I hope my “For Godsake” podcasts wills entertain you, and also challenge and console you, with the things I explore, the places I visit and, perhaps most of all, by the people I meet along the way. I’ll be sharing some of my passions, with everything from food and football… to punk rock and prayers… and trust me, making some sense out of all THAT has been a lifetime’s work for me!Oh, and I forgot to say, I'm also a priest….so I'm wondering what it means to do all this… and to do it “For Godsake!” Hosted on Acast.
