Monday, December 12, 7-8:30pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

Join Shane Claiborne, activist, speaker, and author, for an examination of the death penalty. A question-and-answer period will follow.

Shane Claiborne is a prominent speaker, activist, and best-selling author. Shane worked with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and founded The Simple Way in Philadelphia. He heads up Red Letter Christians, a movement of folks who are committed to living “as if Jesus meant the things he said.” Shane is a champion for grace which has led him to jail advocating for the homeless and to places like Iraq and Afghanistan to stand against war. Now, grace fuels his passion to end the death penalty and help stop gun violence.

Shane’s books include Jesus for President; Red Letter Revolution; Common Prayer; Follow Me to Freedom; Jesus, Bombs, and Ice Cream; Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers; Executing Grace; his classic, The Irresistible Revolution; Beating Guns; and his newest book, Rethinking Life (to be released February 2023). He has been featured in a number of films, including “Another World Is Possible” and “Ordinary Radicals.” His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. Shane speaks over one hundred times a year, nationally and internationally. His work has appeared in Esquire, SPIN, Christianity Today, TIME, and The Wall Street Journal, and he has appeared on everything from Fox News and Al Jazeera to CNN and NPR. He’s given academic lectures at Harvard, Princeton, Liberty, Duke, Notre Dame, and more.
