“My intention is that you too will find a hope that is weathered and wild. A hope that grows in the composted remains of suffering and produces the nourishing fruit of love.” — Dr. Jeske
Gather with us at Upper House for an evening conversation leading toward hope—an often-unexpected tone when discussing racial justice, a subject that has left many in a state of despair. Be among the first to hear excerpts from local author, professor, and speaker Christine Jeske’s new book Racial Justice for the Long Haul: How White Christian Advocates Persevere (and Why). Together we’ll explore accounts of believers relating across differences, reckon with moments when racial justice efforts falter, and consider postures of grace and practices of perseverance. By the end of the evening, we hope to have wrestled with the question, “Dare we even to hope?”—not a trite or naïve hope, but a hope that is sustainable, weathered, and wild.
