From age to age, people have sought to find new language with which to give voice to their spiritual journeys. Millennial author and speaker, Eric Clayton, has found this “new language” in the Star Wars saga, as he enters into the epic story, engages the characters, and tries some of the lofty lessons on for size in a way that resonates with the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Just as Ignatius invites us to engage Scripture by entering the stories, Clayton proposes that we do the same with stories from pop culture, such as Star Wars. Join Clayton for a webinar in which he’ll reveal how God speaks to us through contemporary stories that move us, inspire us, and touch something deep within us.

Your journey encourages me to explore my own spiritual beliefs.
Unfortunately,
I missed the webinar on 1st May due to a Community commitment. Now I do not seem to have the recording though I keep being sent to this area with the link you sent me, having registered for it.
Why is it not opening? or where do i look for it?
Thank you.
