Description
A First Monday Lecture with Sweet Miche.
What does it mean to let your life speak in a world shaped by algorithms and influencers? In this lecture, Sweet Miche takes an unexpected starting point, Mormon media culture, to explore what happens when a faith community decides its life is worth showing. Drawing on their experience as a public minister and a lifelong observer of how faith communities tell their stories, Sweet Miche analyzes the ambivalence that many Quakers experience regarding public visibility and proselytization.
In a world hungry for examples of lives lived in accordance with its values, this talk asks what stories Quakers can tell, and why it matters who tells them.
