An evening of insight and learning with Emilie M. Townes
Thursday, October 24, 2024

How did we get ourselves into such deep divisions? Rather than turn away from the challenges this question poses, we can face them with hope—as both solace for our soul and a call to action in our public witness. How can we engage others and the creation with care, compassion, respect, and love? How can we think together to turn this around?
