Thursday, March 26, dinner at 5:30 p.m., lecture at 7:00 p.m.; Kay Fredericks Room, Klas Center, Hamline University, West Taylor Avenue, St. Paul Minnesotans have born witness to the critical place faith communities have in meeting the moment when crisis comes: Now how do we keep at it when there’s no end in sight? The faith communities and wisdom gatherings that make up Interfaith Action of Greater Saint Paul have worked for nearly thirty years to shelter families and build pathways toward stability and mobility through Project Home. This year’s Mahle Lecture, under the theme "Just Resilience: How to Stay in the Struggle for the Long Haul," will be an opportunity to explore resilience rooted in different faith traditions, specifically using the fight to end homelessness as a case study for what “just resilience” looks like in practice. If you have questions about the event, contact Chaplain Kelly Figueroa-Ray or Rev. Rachel McIver Morey.
