"More Extravagant Expectations"
Jim O'Brien, Lay Minister

Why do so many people in our rich and powerful nation feel disappointed, frustrated, angry, betrayed?  Historian Daniel Boorstin suggests that expectations, created not only by politicians but by many of our institutions, have created an illusion of possibility, most typified by the creation of pseudo-events. Jim O’Brien, member of the Lay Worship Committee and Professor Emeritus of Media Studies, will explore the phenomenon and hint at a way out.

International acoustic guitar champion and songwriter Helen Avakian will perform the musical offerings.
