Loving the Fatherland

It features a roundtable discussion at the 'Stična mladih' festival where participants including Br. Miran Špelič, Dr. Simon Malmenvall, Blaž Podobnik, and David Tomažin explore themes such as caring for heritage, culture, and community versus empty patriotism. The conversation includes historical and theological reflections, touching on migration, national identity, and responsibility for the future. Br.

An Atheist Who Found God Through Philosophy

Danaja Bigec, 23-letna Slovenka, je v svojem življenju preživela duhovno pot, ki jo je vodila filozofija, osebna izkušnja, narava, glasba in srečanja z ljudmi. Odraščala je v družini, kjer ni bila vera posebej predstavljena, zato se je v srednji šoli brez dvoma opisovala kot ateistka. Vendar je skozi razmislek in raziskovanje vprašanj o Bihu in smislu življenja spremenila svoje mnenje. Letos spomladi je prejela zakramente, vendar priznaje, da še vedno odkriva svojo vero.
