Philosophy in the Park and the Orchard

From his unforgettable pilgrimage on foot from France to Rome, captured in ‘The Path to Rome’, to his razor-sharp wit, musical language, and gentle

How can we deal with those whose ideas of the truth differ from ours?

Come and join in the discussion.

Come and hear the tale in a NEW light!
