About Our Event

This year’s installment of LiVE’s Lenten “Gospel & Culture” series. This Lent, we journey with bell hooks’ book All About Love with a focus on love as a transformative spiritual practice. We’ll gather with participants across congregations for a communal exploration of hooks’ ideas about love. We’ll then seek to integrate her ideas into our Lenten practices of self-examination, repentance, and preparation for Easter. Each session will include a spiritual practice to be taken up during the week, with an emphasis on love in action.
