"Hope is a verb with its shirtsleeves rolled up"~David Orr

As Laurent states, hope calls for right thinking and right action. As a community we can offer an interdisciplinary study of how past generations have responded to natural and social "disasters and challenges"---how they have been good ancestors, what did they lack in their response that we currently have on hand in the 21st century and the necessity of sharing their stories so Sion communities can sink their roots deep and respond with critical thinking and right action in the present moment.
