Join us as we partner with The Beloved Community to welcome Rhonda Mawhood Lee, priest, spiritual director, and daughter whose mother died by suicide. She will share from her recent book, Suicide and the Communion of Saints.
“Drawing on her vocational insights and personal experience, Lee offers a compassionate vision for understanding and responding to suicide. With clarity and candor, she reflects on the unintended consequences of many traditional Christian teachings around suicide. In search of a better way, Lee turns to the communion of saints—a theologically rich concept that Christians can draw on to reframe their relationships with people who have died by suicide, and with those who are at risk of ending their own lives.”
Rhonda Mawhood Lee is an Episcopal priest, historian, and spiritual director.
