We live in a death-phobic, youth seeking culture. From anti-aging face serums to cryogenics to theologies of eternal life to potential AI technologies that could keep the brain alive indefinitely, humans have chased immortality despite the enduring reality: If you are human, your life is finite. Given this immutable fact (at least in 2024) how might we chase worthy goals such as right relationship and right action in our individual and communal spheres to leave an “immortal” legacy beyond death? And how would we even structure a human life if it didn’t have a beginning, middle, and end? Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker, preaching, with Worship Leader Cynthia Hopkins. Music from Barbara Stevens and a Time for All Ages from Tara Toler.
