Repairing the Souls of Men
November 24, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson Many folks have identified a crisis in masculinity. Loneliness, rising addiction, decreasing educational attainment, rage and the turn to the right, and violence are some of the symptoms. I’ll give my reflections on this question – the nature of the crisis, and how we might respond. How might we tend to the souls of men?
We will share the plate with Severson Dells Our mission is to link people to nature through education and research in the northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin area. We promote awareness of the natural world, fostering respect, enjoyment and preservation now and in the future.
