Dean Powery: In the Face of Loss, We Have a Calling to Create

In his column today (November 1) in the Chronicle, Chapel Dean Luke Powery says that loss can bring about uncertainty and emptiness but all humans can respond with their power to create.

"As creatures of [the] Creator God, we are meant to embrace a creation vocation, that is, to create art and beauty in the face of formless voids, even pandemics," he writes. "It’s as if the void is calling us to create and make meaning out of the chaos."
