Living beyond Loss and into God’s Future:
The Book of Ruth
How can the heart bear unfathomable loss and yet become open to a future that was previously unimaginable? That is the question we will explore through the biblical book of Ruth.
Looking at the story through multiple lenses – theology, visual art, movement and dance – we will trace how loss of family, homeland, and every form of security is gradually transformed through love and trust practiced by people who seem to have no power to wield.
We will consider how this small yet expansive narrative speaks to us profoundly in our own “ordinary” situations, both personal and societal.
