Reimagining Our Moment for Whatever Comes Next — with Anne Snyder (Hosted with Upper House)

Описание: Anne Snyder, editor-in-chief of Comment Magazine, joins us to explore the possibilities offered by a revived Christian humanist approach that flows from scripture and two thousand years of Christ-centered tradition. In her view, such an approach offers a hopeful and creative way to navigate the destabilizing currents of this late modern moment. Because we are in a "time between eras when no one knows what’s next," Anne contends that "we need one another to recalibrate, to reflect, and to shape a hopeful future." In that spirit, she will introduce a new Christian humanist manifesto and theory of change to help us prepare for whatever comes next.

Anne's presentation will interweave history, hope, and insights about our post-election wariness. We are 75-years post World War II, and the raft of institutions built to protect peace and human dignity are now often painted as enemies. Many people feel increasingly anxious and unmoored, and liberalism is on the defensive. Conflicting ideologies divide neighbors and families. Yet, social renewal is possible. How? Anne's perspective and Christian humanist manifesto will address vital questions and concerns shared by people across our community and nation, regardless of their political affiliation or religious affections.
