An evening with Pulitzer Prize nominee Colin Woodard

Monday, September 22, 6:30pm
Followed by refreshments and book signing

In these difficult and divided times, is it possible to identify a common vision that could hold us together as a nation and help us meet the challenges we face?

Is it possible for Americans to unite around an alternative to the ethno-nationalist agenda currently threatening our democracy?

Join us on September 22 to hear the surprising answer renowned author and historian Colin Woodard has to offer!

He’ll explain what his research reveals about core beliefs most Americans share regarding our national story, identity, and purpose and suggest ways this common ground could be the foundation for our country’s future. And he’ll discuss the role—for good and for ill—that religion has played in contributing to the current crisis and has the potential to play in helping us find our way out.

Proceeds will benefit the work of the Maine Council of Churches who brings a prophetic and progressive voice of faith to the public square, uniting people within, through and beyond the church to build a more just, compassionate, and peaceful world.
