The Process of Becoming. Change is hard. Transformation is even more difficult.

Sunday Worship: Shamed by Illness

Sanctuary 1260 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, United States

Chaplain Bronwen Jones, preaching; Chela Metzger, Worship Associate. When you get sick, do you blame yourself for it? Do you feel you somehow deserve it or feel ashamed? Do you have a close friend or family member suffering from a serious illness who feels ashamed to be so sick? Today Bronwen will share her perspective on the deep culture of shame that surrounds those who are seriously ill. She has worked as the lead oncology chaplain at Cedars Sinai Cancer for 10 years. Join us for worship in-person and online.
