AKE A Listed to this episode of episode of CBC Radio’s Tapestry on the passion of Acedia.

You may not heard of “acedia.” It’s an ancient word that’s been lost for centuries. But the condition it describes is as current as your next breath, and chances are, you’ve even felt it. The Oxford Concise Dictionary of the Christian Church defines acedia as “a state of restlessness and inability either to work or to pray”. Some see it as the precursor to the seven deadly sins.

It’s a good episode of a good series: you can subscribe to their podcast on ITunes.
