Living and Working with Critical Hope

Martin Luther King, Jr. declared that "Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively." In this workshop, we will explore the notion that hope can also be used for good and for ill, which requires us to seriously consider what kind of hope our desired future requires of us now. Three guiding principles will point us toward a hope that is values-oriented, rooted in reality, and lived out day-to-day in every part of our lives.

Facilitated by Derek Elkins, director of the Sturzl Center for Community Service and Learning & the Emmaus Center for Spiritual Life & Vocation.

Lunch swipes are sponsored by the Emmaus Center for Spiritual Life and Vocation and the Sturzl Center for Community Service and Learning. Every participant will also receive a copy of the book, Critical Hope: How to Grapple with Complexity, Lead with Purpose, and Cultivate Transformative Social Change by Dr. Kari Grain.

Registration is required to receive lunch and a free copy of the book!
