Ministry has a way of exposing our fragility. The sense of falling short, the limp we carry from wounds along the way, the feeling of being far from the table — these are experiences many in ministry know but rarely name. This retreat invites us to sit with one of Scripture’s most quietly profound stories: Mephibosheth, brought from obscurity and brokenness to eat at the king’s table, not because of anything he had done, but because of a covenant kept.

Academic Seminar – 12th June // Dr. Ariel Dempsey // “Hope at the End of Life: Dancing with Uncertainties.”

Dr. Ariel Dempsey is a physician and scholar with a deep interest in how we navigate uncertainty in medicine, especially at the end of life. She is a postdoctoral fellow in Health and Christian Ethics in the University of Oxford Faculty of Theology and Religion. She earned her MD from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and DPhil in Science & Religion from the University of Oxford. Her doctoral research developed the concept of Palliating Uncertainty—an approach grounded in the values of palliative care and shaped by the philosophy of pragmatism. Dr. Dempsey is also a member of the team that received the Oxford Vice-Chancellor’s Award in Teaching for the development of a Medical Humanities Curriculum at the Oxford Medical School. After postdoctoral work, she will pursue residency in psychiatry with a fellowship in palliative care.
