The Council of Ecological Discipleship, a ministry of St. Columba’s Inverness, is proud to host a thought-provoking book study on Life After Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart by Brian McLaren.

This timely exploration, facilitated by CED member Ann Hall, invites participants into a rich discussion on how to navigate our turbulent times with wisdom, resilience, and love. Join us as we engage with McLaren’s urgent call to confront ecological and social crises with courage and hope.

For the last quarter-century, author and activist Brian D. McLaren has been writing at the intersection of religious faith and contemporary culture. In Life After Doom, he engages with the catastrophic failure of both our religious and political leaders to address the dominant realities of our time: ecological overshoot, economic injustice, and the increasing likelihood of civilizational collapse. McLaren defines doom as the “un-peaceful, uneasy, unwanted feeling” that “we humans have made a mess of our civilization and our planet, and not enough of us seem to care enough to change deeply enough or quickly enough to save ourselves.”

Blending insights from philosophers, poets, scientists, and theologians, Life After Doom explores the complexity of hope, the necessity of grief, and the need for new ways of thinking, becoming, and belonging in turbulent times. If you want to help yourself, your family, and the communities to which you belong to find courage and resilience for the deeply challenging times that are upon us — this is the book you need right now.

Wednesdays via Zoom, February 19, March 12 & 26 | 4-5:30 PT (1-2:30 ET)
