“In a world filled with so much violence and death, Jesus points us towards the narrow way that leads to life,” Shane writes. “The cross offers us an alternative to the sword, the gun, and the bomb. Let’s talk about the way of Jesus, the way of the cross, the way of nonviolence and how we can live it in the world today.”

That’s what we’ll do in this zoom session with the celebrated charismatic author and activist Shane Claiborne. After his talk, we’ll have time for a good discussion.

Shane Claiborne is one of the founding members of The Simple Way, a Catholic Worker-type community in the inner city of Philadelphia. He is the author of the best-selling books, The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical; Beating Guns; Hope for People Who Are Weary of Violence; Executing Grace: How the Death Penalty Kill Jesus and Why It’s Killing Us; and Jesus For President. While living and working in inner city Philly, he travels the nation and the world speaking out for justice and an end to poverty, war and killing. He and John Dear spent time together in Afghanistan a few years ago, and were arrested in 2017 at the Supreme Court marking the 40th anniversary of the death penalty in the US. As a college student, Shane spent time with Mother Teresa working in Calcutta, and spent three weeks in Baghdad in 2003 in Iraq with the Iraq Peace Team.

The session will last one and a half hours; cost: $30.
