Looking Inward, Living Outward: The Spiritual Practice of Social Transformation

Christ UMC 800 Market Street, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States

In a world of so much hurt, how can we create communities of care and healing? While much of contemporary Christianity careens toward a spirituality of individual salvation and the afterlife, the call of Jesus to create communities that enact justice and bring peace on earth is often tragically ignored. This day of Looking Inward, Living Outward, based upon Daniel’s new book, will call us to a life of prayer and core spiritual practices that re-orient our gaze outward in acts of social transformation.
