Why do some eyewitnesses to tragedies help out and others don’t? How does our trust in ourselves and in others allow us to respond to or survive a tragedy?
Our guest speaker is Tamara Dean, a writer who recently returned to Madison after many years in the Driftless area. Her essay collection, Shelter and Storm: At Home in the Driftless, is forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press in April. [Photo by Kelly Kendall]
The Share the Plate for Sunday March 2 and Sunday March 9 is More for Madison. More for Madison is a redevelopment project of St. John’s Lutheran Church, to demolish their building and replace it with a place where affordable living, stability, and supportive services converge, fostering growth and success. With a rooftop garden, accessible community spaces, and vital social services, St. John’s redevelopment for affordable housing is a testament to their commitment to community, diversity, and holistic care for one another. More for Madison was nominated by Reverend Karen.
