"The Resurrection of the Body"
by the Reverend Peter Thompson
“Make no mistake,” John Updike warns in his famous poem Seven Stanzas at Easter. “If he rose at all,/it was as his body;/if the cells’ dissolution did not reverse, the molecules reknit,/the amino acids rekindle,/the Church will fall.” The resurrection, Updike’s poem explains, was not a metaphor. Jesus’ very flesh rose. The thumbs, toes, and heart which had gone limp only days before came back to life.

"God just gives, to us, to you and me. I mean, look at us! Yikes. God keeps giving, forgiving, and inviting us back."
—Anne Lamott, "Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers"
Giving back to the one who first gave is an act of faith and selfless generosity. It is that generosity that enable us to do the work we do in the service of God. We are so very grateful for your faith in the work we do.

The whole world has been living through the trauma of COVID-19 over the past year and some months. How do we emerge in a way that allows us to simultaneously acknowledge the pain we've endured and move forward? Join the Reverend Peter Thompson for a discussion based on Shelly Rambo's wide-ranging book Resurrecting Wounds: Living in the Afterlife of Trauma, which considers Jesus' resurrection, early Christian history, the Protestant Reformation, racial oppression, and militarized conflict—all through the lens of trauma.
