What kind of spirituality do we need as activists that will keep us engaged and keep us from falling into burnout? These presentations will suggest that it is a spirituality rooted in the practice of Sabbath. We will consider the works of Abraham Heschel, the great Jewish writer, and Walter Brueggemann and his book, Sabbath as Resistance: Saying No To The Culture of Now.
