Making sense of suffering

23 Mar ’13 Leave a Comment Written by Juliet Bennett
How does one make sense of large scale suffering, like that of global disasters, Auschwitz, or even cyclical poverty? Is that God's not-so-fine handiwork? This TED Talk by Rev. Tom Honey, introduces a different idea about God that is well-known in intellectual theological circles, but not so well known outside of this. Rev.

Rights of Indigenous Peoples: A Personal Statement
