What Is Grief?

And Also With You

What is grief and how might our faith speak to our experiences of loss? We are joined by sad boy Rev. Gregory Stark and guest co-host Rev. Ethan Lowery to talk about life, death, poetry, Eucharist, hamburgers, and grief.

The Rev. Gregory Stark is a current PhD student in theology at the University of Cambridge, where he is researching the theology of grief and mourning in the art and activism around HIV/AIDS in the 1980s. He serves as the assistant chaplain at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He previously was coordinator for ministry with children and youth in the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe while he completed his research masters in theology at KU Leuven in Belgium.
