Note: in addition to posting these lecture notes I posted my review of Brian’s book here
Last night I heard Brian McLaren lecture on Truth-Telling in “Christian” America: Globalization, Poverty and the Environment at Dominican University. These are my notes. This talk was based on Brian’s book Everything Must Change, except the particular emphasis on telling the truth (that was because of the lecture series this was part of).
This lecture is part of our series on Truth and Consequences. Truth is critical in the Christian tradition and it does have consequences. Truth is one of the first casualties of war.
If you’re wondering why we’re combining globalization, poverty and the environment it’s because they’re intimately related just as truth and consequences are.
Religion and Christianity have been misused and helped to obscure the truth but our faith tradition offers a critical base from which to tell the truth about – and the health of the planet.
We’re pleased to present Brian McLaren, an explorer and storyteller of the Christian tradition.
