ON LIVING
The 8th Annual Richard H. Fitzgerald Lecture in Pastoral Education

ON LIVING
This workshop explores how humans are spiritual and intentional creatures. Passing along valuable lessons learned from her patients, hospice chaplain and author Kerry Egan reflects on how to be empathetic, face fear with courage, and see the world in rays of light instead of black and white. Egan has listened to patients reflect with feelings of pride, regret and hope on the journey of living. These are the stories she recalls in her new book, On Living.
