CloseRev. Gretchen Haley & Rev. Sean Neil-Barron – January 25, 2023
The Invention of Time

Time is in us. We feel time. And yet, what if the way we experience time is not natural or objective? Time is not inherently linear and unidirectional, as is often experienced in the Western world. Standardized, uniform time was an invention, or rather, a construction during a curious confluence of 19th-century mechanical innovations and European colonial ambitions. So what purpose does the Western construct of time actually serve? Plus Rev. Gretchen Haley joins Rev. Sean for a conversation to unpack her unexpected emotional reaction to his sermon
