January CCS Friday – Hope, Hopelessness, and Engaging the Real World
On Friday, January 16, 2026 we hosted an online discussion with David Driedger on hope and whether a faithful engagement of the world requires love and presence without hope that things will be different than they are. David is a Mennonite pastor in Winnipeg and author of Nothing Will Save Us: A Theology of Immeasurable Life, in which he explores structural violence and systemic racism and argues that those considered “nothing” by society may hold the key to salvation for people of faith.
CCS Fridays: Online conversations to help us all to respond faithfully to emerging issues in local contexts. These workshops are open to anyone who might be interested. Each session will be on a Friday from 12:00 to 1:00 CT and in the form of a Zoom workshop. There will be a presentation that will be recorded for future viewing, plus opportunities to engage with the ideas in small groups.
