Moments of Meaning: Taking the First Jump on the Search for Knowledge – with Kate Glastonbury

Moments of Meaning is a podcast produced by Baha’i Teachings and hosted by Sean Hinton. 

In each episode, Sean speaks to someone whose life has been profoundly affected by the writings of the Baha’i Faith. Each guest shares with Sean their “moment of meaning”—whether it’s a big life choice, a turning point in their career, an inspiration or an insight. They share the passages from the Baha’i writings that were part of this moment, and explain the changes this moment inspired in their lives. 

In this episode, Sean Hinton speaks to Kate Glastonbury, who was born and raised in Wagga Wagga, Australia, and now works in international development in Sydney. As a young woman in the mid-90s, Kate briefly lived in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia—a place that had just come out of Soviet rule and that was, Kate says, “similarly new to the world as I was.” Kate became friends with Sean around this time, and he frequently shared with her passages from the Writings of the Baha’i Faith and one in particular that she’d never forget.

All episodes of Moments of Meaning can be found online on BahaiTeachings.org.
