Clare Farrell is my guest on the podcast this week, the penultimate episode in the series On Religion. Clare is co-founder of Extinction Rebellion, known as XR.
Non-violent resistance lies at the heart of XR, and Clare notes how those drawn to the movement, and especially those able to train on civil resistance are often explicitly religious or spiritual.
In the podcast Clare refers to the work of Catholic theologian Carmody Grey, and in particular this lecture What Do We Want To Sustain? She has also drawn on the work of Buddhist psychologist John Vervaeke, and to this series of conversations and lectures. Both Clare and series collaborator Liz Slade are part of the Hard Art Collective that has experimented with new ways of thinking about religion.
