Francis of Assisi - An Anxious Saint?

In this episode Adrian explores the life of someone who was and is a great friend to him in his travails with anxiety and mental health issues. Although Francis of Assisi lived 800 years ago Adrian shows just how relevant his life is now. Especially when he is stripped of some of the religiosity and hagiographic accretions that have but up around him over the years. The poems come from Adrian's last collection - A Night Sea Journey available on Amazon or at www.adriangrscott.com The Leonardo Boff book mentioned is St.Francis: A Model for Human Liberation.
