Shame on Us? Connections Call-May 30th
May 30 @ 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
During our last Connections Call in April we considered goals and challenges for our work past Earth Day and the the topic of “trying not to shame” people came up a few times. We have reached out to several Pastors who will join us in conversation share their perspectives and experiences on this complicated topic. It’s so easy to find ourselves either using or reacting to shame or guilt in responding to our failings in caring for creation and each other.
Are these feelings ever beneficial?
What would Luther say on this topic?

We expect to merely lift up ideas and start the conversation. We hope you continue the dialogue in your context and keep adding thoughts to the shared commentary space.
