What creates a new era? We’re familiar with change induced by outside forces: a technological advance, a natural disaster. But when we as mere mortals wish to shift the norms of a society towards a regenerated common life (less a devolved one), what’s at play when it works? 

Anne Snyder, editor-in-chief of Comment Magazine and host of The Whole Person Revolution podcast, has undertaken a prismatic exploration of social change over the last year — what it is, how it happens, and what we tend to miss in our impatience for quantifiable results. Please join her in a conversation about the more hidden terrain of character formation and community building, contemplative practice and visionary action, and the need for greater patience, listening and hospitable forms of leadership in the body politic. 

Anne Snyder, MPS, is the editor-in-chief of Comment and the founder of Breaking Ground, a growing institutional ecosystem seeking to leaven today's public square with a Christian humanist lens. She is the host of The Whole Person Revolution podcast, co-editor of Breaking Ground: Charting Our Future in a Pandemic Year, and author of The Fabric of Character: A Wise Giver’s Guide to Renewing our Social and Moral Landscape.
