Quaker chaplain and Earth Quaker Carl Magruder speaks about the Great Unraveling that is taking place now as the breakdown of the industrial growth society that we know, and the possibility of the Great Turning toward a life-giving and life-sustaining order. During this time of the Great Unraveling and the Great Turning (terms used by Joanna Macy), it is normal to experience grief and fear. Carl teaches the wisdom in accepting our grief and facing our fears in order to recognize and contribute to the courageous and prophetic ways necessary to bring in a new way of life.
