Class Description
"Hope is Complicated," is a dialogue of honest reflection about our shared future. This is not a space for quick answers or simple solutions, but rather an opportunity to engage with the complexities and contradictions of our time. Our focus is on long-term trends that shape our world, and less on the day-to-day fluctuations of politics or the specific actions of any particular administration.
We invite you to join us in a conversation beyond ideological divides in order to engage with what it means to be advocates for peace and justice in a fractured world. We will identify our shared values, ask critical questions, and reflect deeply on the future we wish to create—together.
The discussion will be based on Brian McLaren’s Life After Doom and will distill its insights, invite dialogue, and encourage communities of action.
