Sunday Platform with Christiana Zenner: ‘Fresh Waters and Formative Ethics: Reflections from an Accidental Theologian’
June 8 @ 11:00 am - 12:15 pm
This Week’s Platform will be In-Person Only
This conversational presentation invites community members into reflections on the importance of how, and to what, we pay attention in our minds and actions. Weaving intellectual and social biography with the accidents of her particular career path focused on water, ecologies, and theological imaginations, Dr. Zenner invites community members to consider how fresh waters flow in their lives. She also considers how, in this time of bombardment, the flow of a college semester and the practice of classroom companionship can remind us all about ethical, collective, and kind discernment.
Community lunch follows, free for first-time guests!
