Abstract

The 175-member Presbyterian congregation I serve has been deeply affected by the pandemic, the changing role of church in culture, and individual and communal losses. This project sought to equip them to begin to identify and name before God their own suffering, and that of others. My research was conducted in the context of a Lenten bible study, a prayer walk, interviews and a survey. Participants also created their own laments. These activities provided a snapshot of participants’ beliefs about lament and encouraged them to engage in their community, especially on behalf of situations in which there is injustice or inequity.
