While a generation of changemakers and peacebuilders have set out to
“Be the Change!” a thousand cautionary tales from the frontlines
of social, economic, climate, and racial justice work suggest that
deep ethical dilemmas don’t always have easily actionable answers.
Join us for the book launch of Wicked Problems: The Ethics of Action
for Peace, Rights, and Justice (Oxford University Press, 2022), where
a panel of the books’ contributors discuss the trade-offs, dilemmas,
and compromises they encounter in their daily work as conflict
resolution practitioners, peacebuilders, advocates, organizers, and
activists.

Spiritual Needs of Older Adults with Secular Beliefs
2022-03-01 18:30
A WEBINAR FOR SPIRITUAL CARE PROVIDERS AND INTERESTED OTHERS

To be human is to have a spiritual dimension, regardless of
beliefs. Those with secular and humanistic beliefs still have
spiritual needs even if they may not articulate them or use that
language. Often people with secular beliefs are considered
‘aspiritual’. They can also resist spiritual support believing it
comes with a religious agenda or proselytization. It is important to
understand the spiritual needs of those with secular beliefs and be
able to offer spiritual support in a way that is helpful to those
individuals.

UPCOMING WEBINAR:

SPIRITUAL RESILIENCY, DEMENTIA AND CAREGIVING DURING UNCERTAIN DAYS:
STAYING GROUNDED THROUGH HOPEFUL STORIES AND FAITHFUL PRACTICES.

Accompanying a person with dementia has never been easy, but perhaps
at no time in history has it been more challenging than today. The
media is filled with inspiring images of professional caregivers who
demonstrate amazing courage and endurance, day after day, but less
attention is paid to those quietly giving care at home. These
“invisible” helpers are angels as well—and they are tired,
isolated, at physical risk and worried about the future.

“FOOD & FAITH: MENNONITES FARMING LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY”

Mennonite sociologist Winfield Fretz called farming the ‘sacred
vocation.’ Even though fewer and fewer Mennonites are involved in
it, we are all dependent on, if not blessed by it. We used to talk
together about farming and faith a lot more when more of us were
farmers. Maybe it’s time to talk again.
