What: A gathering to bring together the activist, academic, and faith-based communities for a public conversation on how to successfully address such profound challenges as our growing social inequality, mass incarceration, sustainable economic development, global warming, and a culture that is still struggling to embrace difference. The traditions, practices, and institutions that we hoped would enable us to do this are often "stuck" in terms of limiting or undermining our ability to address these challenges. This revival will promote a community conversation about how these resources can become the tools for transformation that they were intended to be and how we can build the kind of movement which will allow us to overcome our isolation and be effective in working together within and across our different contexts.
