About the Event
Following Jesus in a Culture of Fear
(Hybrid; led by Bishop Diana Akiyama and Interim Dean Brendan Barnicle)
Fear has taken on an outsized role in our current cultural and political context. Our steady diet of fear produces unhealthy moral lives, leading many Christians to focus more on the dangers we wish to avoid than the those things we wish to pursue.
Join Bishop Diana Akiyama and Interim Dean Brendan Barnicle in exploring moral theologian Scott Bader-Saye’s response to this moment of anxiety: Following Jesus in a Culture of Fear. This important work offers Christian responses to fear and the practices that can embody Jesus’s call to place our trust in him and to show hospitality to our neighbors.
