January 31 — The Heart’s Imperative: Reclaiming Integrity & Courage in Professional and Public Life
Parker Palmer believes that those professions that draw people who wish to serve, that call on the heart — professions such as teaching, or health care, or politics, or provocating — can erode the heart over time. How to renew and restore? If that isn’t enough to get you to the discussion, how about Carrie Newcomer?
When: Thursday, January 31, book autographing 6:30 PM; program 7:00 PM
Where: St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, 100 W 86th St, Indianapolis
