Life After Doom:
Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart
A Weekend with best-selling author, activist, and public theologian, Brian McLaren
10/25/24 - 10/27/24
Tapping into the themes of his new book, “Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart”, Brian McLaren invites us to engage in the catastrophic failure of both political and religious leaders to address urgent realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and civilizational collapse. Come explore the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and discover new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging for the common good.
