March 7 & 8 CTS Tenth Annual Spirituality and Psychotherapy Conference featuring Freudian expert Jonathan Lear
Jonathan Lear’s Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation is a study of what happens when cultures can’t handle pressures for change without losing their moral moorings. NYRB calls it a “well-written and philosophically sophisticated book… As a story of courage and moral imagination, it is very powerful and moving. But it also offers the kind of insights that would-be builders of “new world order” desperately need.” Good thing he is visiting Indy this spring.
When: Thursday March 6 and Friday March 7, time to be announced
Where: Christian Theological Seminary 1000 W. 42nd Street Indianapolis, IN 46208
