Good Troublemaking: The Spiritual Practice of Building Better Worlds

A Space for Spiritual Reflection and Renewal

 

October 27th – December 8th
Thursdays, 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. (Central Time) | Online via Zoom

 

Look around you. What do you see?

 

Now ask yourself, “Is this how things should be? Finally, consider, “How might I help close the gap between these two worlds?”

 

This 6-week online course seeks to offer activist-learners and learning activists a space for spiritual reflection and renewal. One of the most transformative powers of spiritual reflection is glimpse into futures where something more just is possible. Learners in this course will engage in faith-full vision casting using methods of practical theology in conversation with tenets of social justice action.

 

Come dream with us and leave ready to build a better tomorrow by faith-fully living today!
