Contours of Hope: Brian McLaren in conversation with Ruth Harvey

How does hope turn up when it feels like “the inexorable tide of doom” is rising?

What sets hope apart from optimism, or ‘blind faith’ from ‘honest doubt’?

As we journey through Advent, how do we discover fresh possibilities, solidarity, and promise in the birth of Christ, even amidst a world filled with uncertainty? And what is the value, in this context, of living together in Christian community?

Author of ‘Life After Doom – wisdom and courage for a world falling apart’, Brian McLaren will be in conversation with Ruth Harvey, Iona Community Leader, exploring the contours of wisdom, courage and hope in advent.

Please note this conversation will be made available on our YouTube channel on the 15th December and available to view there after that date.
