Resilience in an Age of Permacrisis: Naming Grief, Inviting Lament

“How long, O Lord?” is a question that resounds through the Psalms. With wars, rumors of war, international upheaval, and crises on state and local levels, suffering is reverberating in our churches, on our streets, and in our homes. Where is the space to grieve, to lament the suffering we witness and the suffering we experience?

This panel discussion offers space to reflect on how current events impact the mind, body, and spirit. Our panelists discuss practical ways to deal with burnout, compassion fatigue, and feelings of helplessness. We pray this time together will draw us closer to our Lord who journeys with us in our sorrows and is “acquainted with grief.”

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is required.
