When the people we love face the reality that their time on earth is growing short, what do we have to offer them? We find that our modern culture turns away from realities of life and death; it cannot give us the help, comfort and practical wisdom needed for these moments. Where can we turn?

In this evening conversation co-hosted in Nashville, TN with Montgomery Bell Academy and St. Paul Christian Academy, we explore the surprising resources of the Christian tradition with Lydia Dugdale, MD. Lydia brings the perspective of one who has applied practices from this tradition in her daily work with patients and families as a physician, professor and medical ethicist in New York City. She draws deeply from this wisdom in her book The Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom – which she wrote for her patients, and those who love them.
