Add to Calendar 2025-02-09 10:00 AM 2025-02-09 11:00 AM America/New_York Discovery: The Practice of Christian Hope

The Apostle Paul in his letters encouraged the early church to “abound in hope.” But in today’s fractious world bent on despair, how is that possible? For Christians, hope is not unfounded optimism, but deep faith rooted in our active participation in God’s healing work in the world. And with practice, we can cultivate it. 

February 9: Ruth Frey, Trinity’s director of community programs and public life, considers the meaning of hope and how we might practice it in our everyday lives  

February 16 and 23: James K. A. Smith, professor of philosophy at Calvin University and author of How to Inhabit Time, on how we must reckon with our past to live faithfully in the present and have hope for the future.
