Ben Dolf “Re-enchantment in Our Congregation”
Jun 28 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am

The members of our congregation as well as those of other, similar organizations, will have an important role to play as we deal with the climate and economic crisis facing  us. Alone and in small groups we can can act as nodes of joint inquiry, reflection and thoughtful action to deal with it in a democratic, just and sustainable manner. What can we do to face this challenge without taking on too big a task and how can we continue to prepare ourselves for it? Ben Dolf will explore some ideas by building on his talk on exploring the personal domain.
