The Wise Women of the parish (along with a good number of men!) will gather for this month’s program on Sunday, March 23 at 11:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall for another entertaining and thought-provoking program.
Well over half a million people have viewed this online TED Talk by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Amanda Bennett, in which she gives a sweet yet powerful talk on why, for the loved ones of the dying, having hope for a happy ending shouldn’t warrant a diagnosis of “denial.” She calls for a more heroic narrative for death; one that matches the narratives we have in life. The talk is based in part on Bennett’s book, “The Cost of Hope” in which she brings an investigative angle to the conversation about end-of-life care. The book is part-memoir, part-investigative report, and recalls her seven-year struggle within the American healthcare system to save her husband from cancer.
Lunch is provided; please bring $5 to cover the cost. Please rsvp via email to rsvp@asbts.org or call the Church Office at 805-969-4771.
