• Blessed Unrest
  April 18, 25
  Elizabeth Meacham, instructor of environmental philosophy at Ursuline College, presents selections of Paul Hawken’s book, “Blessed Unrest: How the Largest Movement In the World Came Into Being.” A leading environmentalist and social activist, Hawken examines the worldwide movement for social and environmental change. We will discuss examples of this movement, and Hawken’s premise that they represent humanity’s collective genius, a reason for hope and possibilities for our future.

• “Urban Roots” Discussion
  Februrary 1, 8
  Produced by Leila Conners and Mathew Schmid and directed by Mark MacInnis, “Urban Roots” follows the urban farming phenomenon in Detroit. The film is a timely, moving and inspiring film that speaks to a nation grappling with collapsed industrial towns and the need to forge a sustainable and prosperous future. Join Trinity’s Peace and Justice team for a two-week screening and discussion of this film.
• Annual Moll Lecture
  February 15 at Baldwin-Wallace College
  “The Power of Sacred Place: How Nature Engages the Soul” is the theme of Moll Lecture speaker, Dr. Belden Lane, professor of theological studies at St. Louis University and an ordained Presbyterian minister. He teaches in the areas of American religion and spirituality, interrelating various faith traditions, and has a special interest in storytelling and its use in preaching. The lecture will take place in the Lindsay-Crossman Chapel, 56 Seminary Street, Berea, Ohio 44017. Carpooling available upon request from Trinity to Baldwin-Wallace. Free and open to the public.
• Guided Station Walks

• Practicing Contemplative Dialogue

  Kathleen McDonnell, director of the Conflict Mediation Program at Euclid High School, will lead participants in practicing the skills introduced during the Feb. 11 Contemplative Dialogue Retreat. Retreat attendance is not a requirement for the class.
