All are invited as the William Penn Honors Program hosts Ray Barfield to lecture on “Seeking God in the Ruins: A Pediatric Oncologist’s Story of Finding Beauty and Hope Amidst Suffering and Death.” The lecture will be held in Canyon Commons 101 at 7 p.m.<\/strong> this Thursday, Sept. 26<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barfield will share how it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not so much the absence of suffering, but rather our response to it, that fosters wholeness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray Barfield is a pediatric oncologist and palliative care physician. He lost his Christian faith after witnessing the suffering of children with cancer. Although he later returned to Christianity, his doubts transformed his perspective on human flourishing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to the lecture, a panel event, “A Clinician’s Guide to Re-Conceptualizing Death, Dying, and Suffering: The Art of Practicing Thoughtful and Compassionate Care,” will take place that afternoon in Canyon Commons from 3 to 4:30 p.m.<\/strong> Joining Barfield at that event will be Pam Fifer<\/strong> and Daniel Kang<\/strong> from George Fox, and Kristen Lakis from the Duke University Health System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
