Turning Toward a Better Future
Sunday, January 8, 2012, at 4 pm
Matthew McHale
Unity Church (Map)
The new year is often a time for personal reflection on the past year
and expressing our hopes for the new year. This Sunday we will come
together to take those reflections and hopes and broaden them from the
individual level, to reflect on the problems facing the world and share
our hopes for the future of humanity and the world. Facing an
ecological/societal crisis of unprecedented scale in human history – one
which threatens our very existence – through movements like Occupy Wall
Street we are seeing people articulating visions of a better world, and
taking action to address the crisis and help bring that world into being.
What does our vision look like and how can we help realize it?
Matthew McHale is a master's student at the Starr King
School for the Ministry.
