Rev. Cress Darwin discusses many spiritual and practical matters on death and dying with friend and end of life doula, Claire O’Berry. Claire is a co-founder of Dying Your Way, which aims to promote, educate and provide practical solutions for people involved in the process of dying. The Dying Your Way podcast features conversations with leaders in the areas of healthcare and palliative care as well as physical, mental and spiritual well being.

Pastor Cress shares the unique perspective of a loving, inclusive community who were rocked by the senseless shooting at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 2015. The power of forgiveness and the love of neighbors are lessons we can all apply to our own lives. He savors the topic of “God’s ubiquitous serendipity”, and how we are all called to be together; to forgive as we have been forgiven.
