Description

In this thought-provoking talk on the meaning of Christian healing, Henri Nouwen explores the relationship between mourning and dancing. Nouwen explains that healing is mourning as well as dancing and that while the world is subject to the forces of evil, we belong in the embrace of God. If we deny the pain of our losses, bearing them stoically and refusing to mourn, we cannot be healed. And without healing, we cannot join in the dance. First given just a few years before Nouwen’s death in 1996, this presentation remains powerful and significant today.
