2020 Symposium on Worship
January 30 - February 1, 2020
Seminar | From Hurt to Healing to Hope: Worship, Prayer, and Pastoral Responses to Infertility, Miscarriage, and Stillbirth
Elise Erikson Barrett, InSoon G. Hoagland, Reginald Smith, and Kate Williams, moderated by Kathy Smith
Every congregation includes people who have experienced deep losses related to infertility and pregnancy. How can our worship and prayers include these hurts? How can we accompany people on these often-hidden journeys of grief? This seminar explored theological and pastoral reflections on infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth and will discuss sensitive liturgical practices for worship, pastoral care, and services of remembrance.
