Organized by Duke Divinity School

Despair in the face of a wounded and dying world is prompting many to ask about the meaning and value of all life. Climate change, transhumanism, rampant social and economic injustice—these are some of the signs that indicate profound confusion about the purpose of human endeavor. Join Norman Wirzba (Duke Divinity) in conversation with Saskia Cornes (Franklin Humanities Institute), Christine Folch (Cultural Anthropology), and Dirk Philipsen (Sanford School of Public Policy) as they discuss how recovering the sacred character of this life repositions people to be agents for the transformation and healing of this world.

The conversation will be followed by a reception on the Bovender Terrace at Duke Divinity School, catered by Zweli's Caf√©.
