Recorded on location at the historic monastic grounds of Drumcliffe Church, Ireland, this conversation between Brian and George Fox President Robin Baker centers on the commissioning of a custom Celtic stone cross for the chapel garden at the university's campus. Framing their dialogue around the sudden death of its original sculptor, Brendan McGloin, and the cross's collaborative completion by fellow stonemasons, they explore the power of sacred spaces, sensory faith, physical craftsmanship, and communal legacy.
