S1:E3.1 - Conversation with Bp. Jerold Gliege (Emeritus)

City of Bridges Podcast - Theology Towards Unity

In this episode of the City of Bridges Podcast, Aaron continues the Who Do You Live episode through a conversation with Bishop Emeritus Jerold Gliege, delving deeper into the theology and practice of venerating the Saints. Together, they reflect on how wandering through cemeteries and beholding the bodies of departed loved ones can become acts of glorifying God—encounters with mortality that reveal divine beauty rather than demanding sentimental reinterpretation. Bishop Gliege shares insights on how the Orthodox tradition sees holiness not as abstraction but as embodied reality, and how the created world itself—especially through remembrance and reflection—can become a window into the glory of the Creator. The episode invites listeners into a contemplative space where memory, reverence, and creation converge in worship.
