Join Veriditas founder, the Reverend Dr. Lauren Artress, in conversation with Diana Butler Bass for a free one-hour preview of their upcoming pilgrimage to Chartres Cathedral in June. They will introduce the spiritual practice of an 'Honest History' and how retracing the footsteps of the past, we can better write stories that forge paths for those who will follow in the future.
“Even if history is the source of much contention right now, I also think it can be a source of healing. We need - especially in churches - to practice honest history. This means recovering stories that have been hidden, fearlessly facing the past, and developing a spirituality of integrity regarding history.” – Diana Butler Bass
