Rev Ian started his 3-week discussion (via Zoom) of Kate Bowler’s moving memoir, Everything Happens For a Reason, and Other Lies I’ve Loved. Bowler writes openly and honestly about being diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer, wrestling with the question of how such a bad thing could happen to a “good” person like her, and developing a new awareness of how God is present in the midst of life’s fragilities, messiness, and disappointments.
