In a world that Alfred North Whitehead described as one of “perpetual perishing,” grief must certainly be a universal human experience. In this conversation, Jonathan Foster will read excerpts from his book, indigo: the color of grief.  From the book’s description:

indigo is the
joy and lament of a
human being
theologian
father

fashioning new ideas about the divine
within the painful loss of his daughter
within the constraints of his own intelligence
within the constraints of what religion
had been telling him his whole life
some of which was good and
some of which wasn’t
good

it’s a way forward
where forward means the
interaction of
past choices
past events
and personal agency
in this moment
and this moment
and … yes, this moment

After the readings, chaplain Kathleen Reeves will respond, sharing thoughts and tools on our movement through grief.
