The Mini Macs are Coming Back

The Tending Our Souls Mini Mac on Faith After Doubt in April with Brian McLaren was a very well received virtual first presentation.  MAC team members are well on their way in preparing two additional virtual presentations.  Specific dates are to be determined, but here is what is already established:

Tending Our Planet [late summer] – with Andrew Panelli, Climate Activist & Faith-Based Environmental Organizer. Andy is a member of En-ROADS, a system dynamics model built by Climate Interactive, the MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative and Ventana Systems. MAC team member and Chicago Affiliate, Celine W. invited Andy to give a presentation to her college class that included the Climate Interactive simulator. She confirms that it was a giant success.

Tending Our Community [late fall] – with Megan McKenna, internationally known author, theologian, storyteller and lecturer. She teaches at several colleges & universities and does retreats, workshops and parish missions. Many of you know Megan, a native of New York City who has lived, visited and gypsied through North and South America (especially Bolivia/Peru), Europe and a collection of islands: Celtic, Japanese, the Philippines, Singapore, Haiti and the Hawaiian Islands and through Malaysia, India, Marshall Islands, Thailand, Australia and China. She works with Indigenous groups, in base Christian Communities and with justice and peace groups as well as parishes, dioceses and religious communities.

Summer and fall will be here in a few blinks of an eye. We hope that you’ll be able to participate with us in these two exciting and thoughtful virtual presentations.
