  • The Silence She Chose

    The Silence She Chose
    2025/11/19
    In 1920s colonial Korea, surrounded by empire, ideology, and rising modern feminism, Kim Iryp was a voice everyone heard-poet, editor, provocateur. And then, one day, she walked away. Into the mountains. Into silence. In this episode, Harmonia recalls the woman who chose not to escape the world, but to seek something more honest than noise: a faith that could shape her soul without erasing it. What she found wasn't a retreat from life-it was a return to it. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/silence-she-chose

  • The Sheikh of Brougham Terrace

    The Sheikh of Brougham Terrace
    2025/11/18
    In late Victorian Liverpool, a former Methodist solicitor named William Quilliam returned from North Africa with a new name-Abdullah-and an unshakable conviction. From a narrow English row house, he founded Britain's first functioning mosque and invited a different vision of spiritual belonging into public life. Though his work was nearly erased, the truths he lived still ripple through the world today. In this episode, Harmonia remembers the ephemeral faith of a man too early for his time, but never out of place.

    The Voice That Would Not Vanish
    2025/11/17
    In a ghetto designed to erase dignity, one woman stood and taught. Regina Jonas-the first female rabbi in Jewish history-was nearly lost to time. Silenced by patriarchy, murdered by fascism, her legacy was buried for decades. But memory has a quiet strength. In this episode, Harmonia recalls the fire Regina carried into the darkness, and the truth that still rises from her life: that the sacred belongs to all who serve it.

  • Roger Williams and the Freedom of Conscience

    Roger Williams and the Freedom of Conscience
    2025/11/16
    Harmonia shares the story of Roger Williams, the exiled minister who refused to let faith become a tool for political power and paid the price for his convictions. In the frozen wilderness of colonial New England, Williams planted the radical idea of religious liberty-not as tolerance from the strong, but as a birthright for all. His courage created a haven for dissenters and laid the groundwork for true freedom of conscience. This episode explores why that principle matters more than ever today, and invites listeners to consider what it means to keep faith larger than any party, group, or creed. Next time: the hidden legacy of Rabbi Regina Jonas. Transcript available at: https://harmonia.email/podcast-episode/roger-williams-and-freedom-conscience
