Contemplate This! Interview with Rev. Dr. Tilden Edwards

This third interview is with the Rev. Dr. Tilden Edwards, an Episcopalian priest and founding member, former Executive Director, and now Senior Fellow of the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation.

Shalem is a Hebrew word meaning “whole,” “complete,” or as Tilden says in the podcast, “moving toward wholeness.” Shalem was one of the first institutes designed to train ministers and church leaders for spiritual direction. Tilden is a particularly important figure for the rebirth of contemplative spirituality in a distinctively ecumenical context - that is, among Christians of all denominations and backgrounds. He was introduced to contemplation through both an Episcopalian Benedictine monastery and an encounter with a Tibetan Buddhist lama.
