2020 Symposium on Worship | Seminar

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 discussed sensitive liturgical practices for worship, pastoral care, and services of remembrance.
