When Life Falls Apart

from Faith Forum · host Randy Hollerith

What do we do when life comes crumbling down around us? How do we rebuild our lives and find hope in the wake of loss? On August 23, 2011, a rare 5.8-magnitude earthquake shook the foundations of the National Cathedral, causing significant damage. At that moment, so much seemed lost. In the face of seemingly insurmountable costs, could the cathedral rebuild or would it need to be closed? The Very Reverend Randolph “Randy” Marshall Hollerith, who was named the 11th Dean of Washington National Cathedral in 2016, was called to lead the effort to rebuild the cathedral. The work is truly remarkable rebuilding the Cathedral’s foundations with a new vision for the role it can have in the spiritual life of our nation.The Reverend Chip Edens and Dean Hollerith explore the spiritual lessons learned about what to do when life falls apart.
