Join us for a Series entitled, Crisis and Suffering: Perspectives from World Religions. Every Wednesday evening, from 7:30-8:30 we will explore the insights offered from different traditions on the themes of loss, suffering, and resilience.

She is currently completing a book on Christian feminist theology for Baker Academic Press and a book on "grace and play."
