Qurbana Media
About this episode

In this episode, we get into the scriptural debates surrounding the traditions and teachings not explicitly detailed in the Bible, using the Assumption of Mary as a central theme. We also touch on the significance of not getting too drawn into unproductive debates and how scripture serves as a love letter from God. If you love our Mother Mary (as you should!) then you'll love this episode!

Featuring: Fr. Andy Younan, Fr. Simon Esshaki, Fr. Christopher Somo, Abbot Ankido Sipo
