Heretic in the House: You’re So Brave 

Examining the act of leaving, and whether it is always the leaver who decides that it’s time to go. 

Heretic in the House takes us on a deeply moving journey with believers and heretics to uncover their hidden stories.

 

Episode 4: You’re So Brave

The crucial moment in so many stories about leaving the Orthodox community is the decision itself, which is frequently portrayed as a painful and heroic act, one that requires tremendous willpower. But leaving rarely works this way; instead, it is a messy and gradual process, one that can leave scars on both the leaver and their community. This episode examines the act of leaving, and whether it is always the leaver who decides that it’s time to go.
