Brian McLaren
Contemplation Across the Stages of Faith
October 14, 2023
9am to 11:30am, PST
Virtual Offering
Contemplative practice is available to us all, whatever our maturity. But might our stage of development affect what kind of contemplation works for us, and how it helps us? Could an understanding of spiritual development enrich our contemplative practice, and vice versa? Brian McLaren will draw from his book Faith After Doubt and his work with Center for Action and Contemplation in putting spiritual formation and contemplative practice into conversation ... and you are invited to bring your experience, struggles, and questions into that conversation as well.
Brian D. McLaren is an author, speaker, activist, and public theologian. A former college English teacher and pastor, he is a passionate advocate for “a new kind of Christianity” – just, generous, and working with people of all faiths for the common good. He is a core faculty member of The Living School and podcaster with Learning How to See, which are part of the Center for Action and Contemplation. He is also an Auburn Senior Fellow and is a co-host of Southern Lights. His newest books are Faith After Doubt (January 2021), and Do I Stay Christian? (May 2022).
