There was a time not so long ago in America when community was something people experienced every day. Kids played on local baseball teams sponsored by the Kiwanis Club. People knew the butcher at the grocery store. Churches, civic groups, and neighborhood businesses gave people a sense of identity, belonging, and purpose. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy believes we’ve lost much of that connection, and that the consequences are reshaping everything from our politics to our mental health. In this live conversation at Judson Memorial Church, Katie talks with Murphy about the ideas at the center of his new book, The Crisis of the Common Good: The Fight for Meaning and Connection in a Broken America, and why he believes rebuilding community is essential to our country’s future.
