Life after Doom: Wisdom and Courage for a World Falling Apart

Presenter: Brian McLaren

This popular religion writer will discuss his most recently published book, Life after Doom: Wisdom & Courage for a World Falling Apart [https://bookshop.org/a/18093/97812508...]. Sheri Kling, director of the Process & Faith program, will facilitate our conversation.

Brian McLaren’s website describes this prolific author/lecturer in this way:

"Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is an Auburn Senior Fellow, a contributor to We Stand With Love, and a leader in the Convergence Network, through which he is developing an innovative training/mentoring program for pastors and church planters."

He has been appreciated by those who do theology in process and open and relational ways. Tripp Fuller describes his interview with McLaren about Life After Doom: “In it, we wrestle with redefining faith, civilization, and ecological consciousness. We delve into theological reflections, reinterpreting religious practices to align with Jesus’s teachings, advocating for a paradigm shift in societal structures, and emphasizing the urgent need for sustainable living. Moreover, we discuss creating inclusive spaces for spiritual growth and action.” [   • Brian McLaren: Life After Doom - Video  ] For a discussion of McLaren’s work from a process point of view, see Jay McDaniel’s “Seven Lessons We Can Learn from Brian McLaren” on Open Horizons [https://www.openhorizons.org/brian-mc...].
