Marc Mullinax returns for a new angle on an old Christian theme. Using Wendell Berry’s phrasing (Practice Resurrection), we’ll discover/recover/uncover practices of hope in these apparently barren days, nearly halfway through President #45’s term.

There are things that we can only see clearly when we are at the ends of our ropes.

“Ya’ see,” Marc will say, “there are things we need to lose to save what we love. Practicing the awareness of what needs to die is a good spiritual practice for the living (well) of these days.”

Practicing losing is actually a way to live and love again.

Marc is a Professor of Religion at Mars Hill University, and serves as Chair of its Faculty. He remains Baptist in his soul-freedom lovin’ heart, but his mind is at home in progressive spiritual traditions like UU.
