In this thought-provoking video, we explore the concept of "theology and spirituality in times of rupture," as discussed by historian Diana Butler Bass. We delve into the significant cultural shifts that have shaped our society over the last 120 years, from the early 1900s' WASP supremacy to the transformative events of World War I, the atomic bomb, the civil rights movement, 9/11, and the recent storming of the U.S. Capitol.

While these ruptures have often felt like the end of the world, they have also presented opportunities for growth and positive change. We've seen the emergence of labor laws, women's rights, and the inclusion of minority voices. However, we've also witnessed the shift from a culture of security to a culture of fear, and now, a culture of submission.

But there is an alternative: a culture of connection. By fostering a sense of unity and understanding, we can overcome the isolation and fear that lead to submission. Through connection, we can find the strength to create a more just, compassionate, and peaceful world.

Join us as we explore how to cultivate a culture of connection in our lives and communities. Together, we can navigate these times of rupture and build a brighter future for all.
