Join Anne Snyder, editor-in-chief of Comment Magazine, to explore the subversive possibilities a Christian humanist approach offers as we navigate the destabilizing and dangerously seductive currents of this late modern moment. Because we are in a "time between eras when no one knows what’s next," Anne contends that "we need one another to recalibrate, to reflect, and to shape a hopeful future." In that spirit, she will introduce a new Christian humanist manifesto and theory of change to help us prepare for whatever comes next.
