Show Notes:This episode comes out on Maundy Thursday, the day when Jesus celebrated his last Passover meal with his disciples and washed their feet in an act of humble service. Tomorrow is Good Friday, where Christians around the world relive Jesus' crucifixion and death and wait for the Good News of Easter Sunday--the day of resurrection and the restoration of hope.Why does this matter? Because in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are not only forgiven, but we are given a new way into offering forgiveness to those who have harmed us. Forgiveness is a complex process, often involving grief and mourning, and should not mean we forget or erase past harms. Today's guest gives us thoughtful insight into how we experience forgiveness--how we offer it to others and ask for it for ourselves. Dr. Matthew Ichihashi Potts is the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard Divinity School as well as the Pusey Minister of Harvard Memorial Church. He earned his BA from the University of Notre Dame, and both his MDiv and PhD degrees from Harvard. He is the author of Cormac McCarthy and the Signs of Sacrament: Literature, Theology, and the Moral of Stories and Forgiveness: An Alternative Account.Resources:Buy Forgiveness: An Alternative Account

This was the fourth event in the six-part Religion in Times of Earth Crisis Series. Human-caused climate change already contributes to manifold global disasters. As the planet inevitably continues to warm, these disasters will be routine and unrelenting. Addressing the reality of loss must become a basic spiritual task of our climate present and future, along with summoning the resolve to respond to all our losses. In this session, Matthew Ichihashi Potts considered the apocalyptic roots of the Christian tradition in order to diagnose how Christianity has contributed to the present crisis and suggest possibilities for a different way forward. Through particular attention to grief and hope as religious categories and with specific reference to various moments and movements from within the Christian tradition, Potts reflected upon the spiritual crisis at the heart of climate catastrophe and suggests the potential for a religious response.

Social ethicist and scholar of American religions Jonathan L. Walton is the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals at Harvard University and Pusey Minister in Harvard’s Memorial Church. He is also a professor of religion and society on the faculty of divinity. Professor Walton’s research addresses the intersections of religion, politics and media culture. He has published widely in scholarly journals such as Religion and American Culture: A Journal of Interpretation and Pneuma: The Journal of the Society for Pentecostal Studies. His book, Watch This! The Ethics and Aesthetics of Black Televangelism (2009), disrupts commonly held assumptions that associate evangelical broadcasting with white, conservative evangelical communities, while illumining the ways televangelists’ professed aims are frustrated by their hyper-mediated methods. Walton’s work and insights have been featured in national and international news outlets including the New York Times, CNN and the BBC. He is also the “resident ethicist” on the Tavis Smiley radio show. Currently, Walton is working on a book-length study of famed televangelist Carlton Pearson tentatively titled Pentecostalism Made Pretty. The book explores questions of power, privilege and race in the context of late 20th and early 21st century neo-Pentecostalism. He is also completing a volume on African-American religious history with Eddie S. Glaude (Princeton University) titled American Religion In Black and Blue. Walton earned his doctoral and master of divinity degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary. A native of Atlanta, Walton graduated from Morehouse College with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He was an assistant professor of religious studies at the University of California, Riverside prior to joining the faculty of Harvard Divinity School.
