Author Frank Schaeffer will discuss his soon-to-be-released book, "Fall in Love, Have Children, Stay Put, Save the Planet, Be Happy" during an online Community Forum on Friday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. via Zoom. In the book to be available Nov. 2, Schaeffer takes a critical look at some of the ideals of our culture in chapters on a loneliness epidemic, loveless work, childcare deserts and using ourselves up through the capitalism of disruption, while in other sections he writes affirmatively about love, connection and community, the rise of feminism, survival of the friendliest and how we can change.

Schaeffer is an author of more than a dozen nonfiction and fiction books, an artist, blogger, lecturer and former film director. He is the son of the late Rev. Francis Schaeffer, an influential evangelical theologian, author and speaker, and Frank was the heir apparent to that fundamentalist ministry before he reassessed his life, left that world and became an advocate for progressive causes.

He is expected to share his personal journey as he discusses his latest book and offers a transformative agenda.

The 7 p.m. forum on Zoom is presented by Chalice Community Forum, a program of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley. Attendance online is free and advance registration for a link to the event is available at forum.chaliceuu.org.

For information, visit that website or contact Randall Edwards via e-mail at forum@chaliceuu.org or through the church office at (805) 498-9548.

CLU's Fifty and Better Fall 2021 Session: September 8-October 22

Registration is open and closes at 3pm on Friday, September 3.
In addition to our virtual format, we are excited to offer an in-person course during our Fall Session! We are piloting a HyFlex class format that will allow our in-person and virtual students to attend the same class simultaneously (see below for details).
Our FAB students’ safety is important to us and therefore, we are taking precautions to make the in-person class a safe and welcoming environment. In this environment, students will be able to enjoy face-to-face interactions with your faculty and classmates, and if you choose, you can grab coffee or a bite to eat after class. We want to make Cal Lutheran your new physical home for learning. For those not able to join us in person, we continue to be your virtual home for learning!
