What a joy to finally welcome author and climate activist Bill McKibben to The Cottage to talk about his new book, The Flag, the Cross, and the Station Wagon: A Graying American Looks Back at His Suburban Boyhood and Wonders What the Happened.
Bill reflects on the what was good about the recent past — and where it all went awry. Along the way, he offers wisdom and practical strategies to fight for a better future. The discussion ends with honest hopefulness.
I loved the book. And I loved this conversation.
Listen in. Read his book. And act.

Thanks so much for your work. The video with Bill McKibben was inspiring at a time when, I admit, my spirits have been sagging. Looking forward to your new book!

Thank you so much for this. I was mesmerized. It filled in a lot of gaps for my understanding of the swings in religion and culture, esp since growing up Catholic, I missed a lot of this but was effected by it all. Going to buy the book and recommend it to everyone I know. Joined UCC 10 years ago, so glad to hear all these connections to the progressive movements over the century.
