Reading Into the New Year: Don't Just Give Me That Old Time Religion, Rev. Dr. Christine Y. Wiley

At the start of every year, Nurture the Soul partners with Pilgrim Press to highlight books that came out in the last quarter of the previous year or are forthcoming. We have an exciting list of topics and authors to highlight this January including Author and Rev. Dr. Christine Y Wiley.
Rev. Dr. Christine's new book is based on qualitative research done alongside 20-African American women from different walks in life. We'll hear stories to get a sense of what mental well-being means to these women and then explore how religion impacts their mental well-being directly and indirectly.

Please note- From time to time we use an automatic transcription service to make these webinars accessible. This might appear underneath KZbin's auto-transcriptions, too. Currently, the transcriptions do not support multiple languages at a time, so some words will be transcribed phonetically. Closed captions are not 100% accurate, so please forgive any inaccurate transcriptions.
Nurture the Soul is a weekly webinar sharing practical, educational, innovative and formational resources and engaging critical topics for local churches and people of faith. Produced by Justice and Local Church Ministries of the United Church of Christ, we faithfully focus on care and education for the people of God, and create opportunities to gather, learn, engage and digitally worship together. From cultural and community organizing to congregational leadership, from worship and theology to resourcing small and rural churches, from ministry with youth and children to wide ranging justice issues, featuring guest artists, authors and key leaders, Nurture the Soul stays current to how the Gospel and our faith is alive in this time. This is a space for connection, community, and nurture. Together, we can bring our church, our community and the world, towards the world God imagines for all of us.
