Where We Live: Critical Perspectives on our Built and Natural Environments - Saturday, April 26, 2025

We have a great workshop coming up April 26th. Here is the registration link. I attach the posters here. Catherine Keller is a total gem and one of the really remarkable theologians thinking deeply about our climate and political crises. She's also a good friend of John Thatamanil, for those who remember John. The event includes lunch. Cost is $10 + tax, but that can be waived in the registration process if cost is an obstacle. 

Would be great to have a crew out to join in the conversation!

Cheers,
Scott
