It's Not Political: Re-Imagining Public Space, Re-Claiming Higher Good
Season 3, Episode 317, Dec 24, 2020, 10:48 AM
Laura Everett (Massachusetts Council of Churches) and Willie Bodrick (Twelfth Baptist Church, Roxbury MA) reflect on how the life of the spirit is present in public space, as part of our common life, and how it’s important to discern that spirit within the conflicted story of race in our country.
This is an excerpt from a What In God’s Name webinar from October 28, 2020. The full webinar is on our YouTube channel, and can be viewed here:
Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities.
In short, we want to foster conversations, develop habits, and create communities that are grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.
