Cathedrals of Connection

Your Invitation to Everyday Sacredness

By: Matt G. Mattson

Narrated by: Ed Fairbanks's voice replica

You're invited to the simplest church on Earth—the space between you and the person next to you. Our world is suffering from an epidemic of loneliness and disconnection. We are desperately longing to find each other again. We want meaningful relationships and vibrant family lives. We want neighbors we know and care about. We want depth and substance in our interactions at home, at work, and in our community.

There is ancient wisdom in our spiritual traditions, explored throughout this book, that can help heal our lonely, divided world one sacred moment of human connection at a time.

Written as an interconnected, compounding series of personal reflections, Cathedrals of Connection gently offers people frustrated with or disenchanted by religion an accessible on-ramp to their spiritual journey. Rooted in a progressive, ecumenical, and at times slightly irreverent Christian perspective, with Biblical passages anchoring every chapter, author Matt Mattson reveals an ordinary mysticism in the common interactions of daily life.

Matt, who has spent over two decades helping people gather in simple, sacred ways, invites listeners to construct their own cathedrals of connection and erect their own temples of togetherness in the space between themselves and every person they encounter.
