Inhaltsangabe

Weaving Hope explores the hope that various slow, still, and often quiet practices can cultivate. It’s a book about how the things we do—like sewing and fixing and patching and planting—can reshape our narratives, serving as new parables that might help us make hope. In other words, this is a book about learning from doing—prayerfully. The cultural stories of this present moment—like that of capitalism, consumerism, anti-Black racism, misogyny, anthropocentrism, and the like—are not innocent of provoking anthropogenic climate change. This book questions the principles of our many contemporary stories—such as what they instill in us, how they instruct us to live, why they’re so powerful, and so on—and seeks to offer alternatives.
