    Slow is Fast, Fast is Slow (in life and politics)

    A few thoughts about an Internet scam, and the incoming head of the Office of Management and Budget. How we get hooked, how we can do better. I think it’s worth your time, even though I kept saying it was Tuesday and not Wednesday 🤦‍♀️🤣 Here’s the article I mentioned by Thomas Zimmer: Steady on… Get full access to The Blue Room with MaryAnn McKibben Dana at maryannmckibbendana.substack.com/subscribe

    Evangelical Christians and Trump—A Theory

    Hey there, I’ve had something nagging in my brain for the last week or more. Rather than take the time to write it out, given that I have a book to write, I decided to record my thoughts on video (my first live video on Substack!). This is not going out to subscribers, but for anyone who finds it, I submit it as musings that I hope you’ll engage with, consider, and correct and challenge where needed. I’m not sending it out to subscribers—with anxieties and tensions high, and given my role, it’s not my place to inject this into people’s email inboxes. Whatever happens on Tuesday, the way forward will require us to understand one another better—not to agree or to acquiesce, but to influence and be in community, because we’re stuck with each other. This is shared in that spirit. Here’s the transcript of the Ezra Klein podcast I mentioned. Get full access to The Blue Room with MaryAnn McKibben Dana at maryannmckibbendana.substack.com/subscribe

    The Greatness of the Small

    The Blue Room podcast is back--sort of--with something new this week! I’ve been wanting to play around with audio here on Substack, the platform that hosts the Blue Room. I thought I’d give it a try using the audio from last Sunday’s sermon. Nothing fancy in this prototype, not even an intro or outro, just the sermon audio. Let me know how it works for you! The scripture text: Mark 4:26-34 Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is as if someone would scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because the harvest has come.” He also said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.” With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them except in parables, but he explained everything in private to his disciples.

    S02 E06 Hope Beyond Hope

    It’s the season two finale! Today, we wrap up our series of conversations about Hope: A User’s Manual. Section six of the book is Hope Beyond Hope. If you’ve read the book, we hope this conversation will enhance that section. If you haven’t read it, the conversation stands on its own. This section is a bit of a catch-all, wrap-up section. It’s about how we persevere amid everything or despite everything, when we’re feeling hopeful and even when we’re not. Our guest is Tim Beal, Distinguished University Professor, Florence Harkness Professor of Religion, and Director of h.lab at Case Western Reserve University. His latest book is When Time Is Short: Finding Our Way in the Anthropocene. The book starts with the question, “what if it’s actually too late to save ourselves from the climate crisis? What then?” It’s an alarming question on its face, but Tim’s exploration of that question is robust and provocative, and ironically hopeful. Which is exactly where the final section of my book strives to land. ~ Tim’s website Tim’s Finding Our Way in the Anthropocene Spotify playlist (brilliant idea!)

    S02 E05 The Practice of Hope

    Today, we continue our series of conversations about Hope: A User’s Manual. Section five of the book is The Practice of Hope. If you’ve read the book, we hope this conversation will enhance that section. If you haven’t read it, the conversation stands on its own. Section five is the get-your-hands-dirty section, so what could be more fitting than a conversation about gardening with Derrick Weston! As you’ll hear, we talk about a lot more than just gardening: food, faith, race, justice… it’s a wide-ranging conversation that stands well alongside the most practical section of the book. The Rev. Derrick Weston is Theological Education and Training Coordinator for Creation Justice Ministries (formerly the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program). Derrick is a writer, filmmaker, podcaster, speaker, and educator. He is co-host of the Food and Faith podcast and producer of Spoon, Spade, and Soul, a podcast highlighting food and land-based ministries in the Episcopal church; he produced the short film series “A Wilderness Like Eden” highlighting the work of churches engaged in food justice work. You’ll hear us talk about the black church food security network, which is featured in that film project. Derrick is co-author of the forthcoming book The Just Kitchen: Invitations to Sustainability, Cooking, Connection, and Celebration, now available for pre-order!

If you’ve read the book, we hope this conversation will enhance that section. If you haven’t read it, the conversation stands on its own. Today, MaryAnn’s guest is Patrice Gopo. Patrice is an award-winning essayist and the author of books for adults and children. Her essay collection, All the Colors We Will See, was Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection. Her debut picture book, All the Places We Call Home, was inspired by one of the essays in her collection.

Her essay “That Autumn” received a notable mention in the Best American Essays 2020 and earned a National City and Regional Magazine Association award for best essay, criticism, and commentary. In addition to other honors, Patrice is the recipient of a North Carolina Arts Council Artist Fellowship and a Sustainable Arts Foundation Award. When she’s not writing, Patrice hosts the podcast Picture Books Are for Grown-Ups Too! because she believes in the power of stories to help build connections between people.

    S02 Bonus Episode: Good Hope, Good Ancestors

    Today, we interrupt our regular season with a bonus episode! Sandhya Jha is someone I’ve known through various professional networks, and I’m an avid reader of Sandhya’s wonderful Thursday newsletter, called Joy in Social Justice. I love their work and wanted you to get to know Sandhya as well. We talk about Sandhya’s approach to anti-racism and anti-oppression work, how we find hope in the struggle, and the vital work of getting in touch with the stories of our ancestors, whether familial, cultural, or spiritual, so that we can be good ancestors for future generations. Sandhya Jha (they/them) is an anti-oppression consultant who especially  loves helping organizations get Diversity/Equity/Inclusion teams off the ground. Sandhya is the founder and former executive director of the Oakland Peace Center, a collective of 40 organizations working to create equity, access, and dignity as the means of creating peace in Oakland and the Bay Area. An ordained pastor with a master’s in public policy, Sandhya is comfortable in the pulpit, on the picket line, or hanging out with friends and friends-to-be over a good cup of tea and a good story. Sandhya’s fifth book with Chalice Press, Rebels, Despots, and Saints, was just released recently.
