Practicing

Hope

Practicing Hope is an adult curriculum exploring hope, particularly when hope seems hard

to find. The curriculum asks questions such as: What is hope in the face of neofascism?

What is hope in a time of genocide? How do we imagine a future for the next generation as

our planet grows hotter by the season? What tools do we have to face these hard realities?

How does Christ teach us to embody hope when our backs are against the wall?

This study’s purpose is to allow all of our communities to cultivate hope that is honest

about our current conditions (refugia), hope that is restorative when everything feels urgent

(rest), and hope that is possible even when we transgress (repair).
