Easter Sunday – Practices of Resurrection

The American observance of Easter invites us to celebrate a one-time and highly contested phenomenal event: Words like “risen”, “king”, or “triumph” celebrate the narrative of a transcendent God, one who triumphs over Death itself and ascends, seamlessly and painlessly into the celestial realms. Conversely, voices like the agrarian poet Wendell Berry, invite us to turn our attention to humble, earthy, and accessible ways in which we, ourselves, can become regular devotees and practitioners of regeneration and rebirth. Join us for a mytho-poetic discussion on what it means to embody this way of being – to live a resurrected life in times of great upheaval and demise – as we re-orient ourselves to the salvific call of this life.
