Faith in Action @ 50 Minutes: Shane Claiborne, Author and Activist

This Sunday, October 30, author and activist Shane Claiborne will be speaking at 50 Minutes.  Shane is the co-founder of The Simple Way, an intentional faith community in North Philadelphia.  With tears and laughter, Shane unveils the tragic messes we’ve made of our world and the tangible hope that another world is possible through peacemaking, social justice, and faith in Jesus Christ.

Shane will share his experiences in ministry, his ideas about new monasticism and community, and what it means to follow Jesus in the 21st century.

We invite you to attend the event, and think about:

+ What do the ideas of The Simple Way mean for St. Peter's?

+ What do the experiences and work of Shane Claiborne and Carol Howard Merritt say about the church moving into the 21st century?  Who are we trying to reach, and how?

+ What can we take away from Shane's ideas and experiences for both our faith community and for our own individual lives?
