Writer and illustrator Martha Park’s new book, World Without End: Essays on Apocalypse and After, is a series of illustrated essays that connect ideas about motherhood, faith and the climate crisis occurring across the South. The essays stem from Park’s move back home to Memphis, TN after her father announced his retirement from ministry, a time during which she explored her spiritual uncertainty and found herself connecting it to loss, beauty and change in the world at large. World Without End culminates in a better understanding of how religion shapes our interaction with the world and how faith compels us to preserve the places we value. For this event, Park will read from the book, then have a conversation with Josina Guess, the assistant editor at Sojourners Magazine, the publication of the progressive Christian social justice organization Sojourners.
