0:00.0	Nomad, Christian community, mission and the future of the church.
0:15.8	Hello and welcome to Nomad podcast. Here we are, once more with another edition of the program in which we explore
0:23.4	the future of the church and Christian community and mission, not necessarily in that order.
0:29.5	On this week's show, we speak to Ruth Villarillo, all about the environment.
0:36.2	Stay tuned for the next half hour or so for lots of good things to think about
