Programs & Events
Book Launch: Unmaking Eden — Thursday, Nov. 5
Doors: 6:30 p.m. Program: 7 p.m.
Join the author, Dr. David M. Carr in conversation with the Bishop Matt Heyd and the Rev. Dr. John Thatamanil for a conversation on the book
Domestication is not just something that humans impose on animals, but an ancient structure binding both creatures within shared systems of subjugation. Advancing trenchant new ideas, David Carr unpacks Genesis 1-11 to reveal ways in which embedded human–animal, gender, and group hierarchies constitute our world. Drawing on animal studies and Indigenous perspectives alike, he treats the Bible's origin stories as an invitation to rethink inter-species flourishing and re-imagine community based on intrinsic worth rather than mere utility.
Refreshments will be served.
