        &lt;p&gt;Being Christian in a Secular Age: A Pilgrimage&lt;br&gt;Session 5—A New Kind of Secular: Glimpses of Transcendence&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Over the span of five episodes, I'm joined by the Rev'd Justin McIntosh, Rector of St Paul's Episcopal Church in Ivy, Virginia to discuss Being a Christian in a Secular Age. In this fifth discussion, we put the theological movement known as Radical Orthodoxy in conversation with the understanding of our Secular Age that we have gotten from Charles Taylor, James K. A. Smith, David Bentley Hart, and Jason Ā. Josephson-Storm. We appeal especially to the work of John Milbank and Catherine Pickstock to re-orient ourselves to this Sacramental Cosmos that just is the Creation of the God revealed in Jesus Christ. This reawakening to glimpses of transcendence is more available to us now than it was to our immediate predecessors because the Secular is not actually the sphere of disenchanted, mechanistic atheism we've been told but a bustling marketplace of metaphysical ideas and spiritualities, where Truth and Beauty are constantly breaking in like shafts of light through stained glass windows.&lt;/p&gt;

In this third episode, we turn a critical eye toward the Master Narratives that underwrite the Social Imaginary of our modern, Secular Age and offer a different, more complex and nuanced story of our history. In this alternative (and more accurate) story, the Church and Christian faith are not a relic blocking the way of progress but, more often than not, an impetus for and an engine of human flourishing throughout the ages. For it is this same Christian faith that has inspired the greatest philosophers, artists, theologians, musicians, scholars, and scientists of history.&lt;/p&gt;
