What does it mean to live a life of moral courage? How do we do what’s right, not just what’s convenient? How do we determine “what’s right” when it is not clear? We’ll explore how moral courage can help us live more fulfilling and meaningful lives through discussion, reflection, sharing stories, readings and videos, and exploring morally courageous individuals, both public figures and in our own lives. We’ll support each other in our journeys to bring more moral courage into our lives at home, at work, and in the community, at a time when such courage is greatly needed.
